Accounts for projects with fees paid (excludes $0 fees paid). Excludes one outlier in the $500K - $1M range. Outcome - Audit looks good. Permits less than $50K valuation represent 90% of permits sampled (match between estimated hours calculated from fee tables and estimated hours based on fees imposed. Fees for projects over $50K occur less frequently and project scopes vary significantly within the fee ranges (ranges from $50K to > $1M). Variance does not seem unreasonable. This also aligns to the total revenue audit confirming fees are not recovering more than the costs of providing services. Appendix D: 1087
