Sec. 108.405. - Rental fees.

(a) The Division shall adopt a fee schedule for the rental of space occupied by the City and independent agencies in public buildings owned by the City, taking into consideration debt service obligations, if any, costs of operation, maintenance, repair, renovation, rental fees for comparable space in privately-owned buildings, contractual or property rights encumbering public buildings, if any, and other factors deemed to be material for this purpose. In adopting the fee schedule, the Division shall assure that the space will be self-supporting from the income derived from the rental fees and that the income will be sufficient for the payment of debt service obligations, if any, and the costs of operation, maintenance, repair and renovation. The adoption of the fee schedule and of modifications thereto from time to time as needed by the Division shall be subject to prior approval by the Director of Central Services. (b) All public buildings owned by the City shall be included in the fee schedule and subject to the provisions of this Section, except buildings excepted by law from the fee schedule or specifically excluded therefrom in the fee schedule itself. A public building owned by an independent agency, for which the Division provides management services or custodial or preventive maintenance, shall be included in the fee schedule but the fee schedule for the building shall be based only upon factors related to the management services or custodial or preventive maintenance provided by the Division. (c) The rental for space occupied by City agencies in City-owned buildings shall be billed as a central service charge by the Division, based upon the current fee schedule, and shall be collected as provided in Section 108.104 . In its annual legislative budget, each City agency shall show the space it occupies in public buildings (including publicly-owned and leased space) and shall, for public buildings owned by the City, include in the legislative budget the rental fee for the space calculated according to the fee schedule. An independent agency for which the Division provides management services or custodial or preventive maintenance shall also include in its annual budget proposal the rental fee for the space calculated according to the fee schedule applicable to the public building occupied by the independent agency. (d) Income derived from rental fees pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section shall be collected by the Division and used for the payment of debt service obligations, costs of operation, maintenance, repair, renovation or further construction of public buildings, pursuant to appropriations by the Council for these purposes.
