Home My WebLink AboutD-2 Staff Report - Citywide Schedule of Fees and ChargesSCHEDULED ITEM/PUBLIC HEARING D-2 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER FROM: TALIKA M. JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DATE: JANUARY 19, 2021 SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF UPDATED CITYWIDE SCHEDULE OF FEES AND CHARGES BACKGROUND: On January 19, 2016, the City Council adopted several resolutions approving certain adjustments to the City’s Schedule of Fees and Charges. In addition, the City Council authorized Staff to adjust the schedule of fees and charges annually based on the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%, whichever was greater. The Los Angeles Area CPI change from September 2019 through September 2020 was 1.2%. Consequently, Staff has adjusted the majority of fees by 2.0% consistent with previous instructions established by the City Council. These changes are ministerial in nature and no further action is required by the Council in order to complete these fee updates. As part of the fee update, Staff would like to make other modifications to the schedule of fees and charges that fall outside of the parameters of the previous direction provided by the City Council. The proposed action requests the City Council to adopt the fee modifications outlined in Attachment 4 which includes three tables: 1) New fees proposed; 2) Fees proposed to be modified by an amount other than the previously directed CPI adjustment; and 3) Fee proposed to be eliminated. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: 1)Receive, review, and file the updated Citywide Fee and Charges Schedule; 2)Open the Public Hearing, receive public testimony, and close the Public Hearing; 3)Adopt Resolution No. 2021-C01, regarding various municipal activities and services, to be effective on January 19, 2021; and 4)Adopt Resolution No. 2021-C02, regarding development project services fees, to be effective 60 days from January 19, 2021 (March 20, 2021). APPROVED CITY COUNCIL 1/19/2021 Adoption of Citywide Fees and Charges January 19, 2021 Page 2 ANALYSIS: California Government Code 66000 allows public agencies to impose fees to recover the costs of providing various public services to the community. In an effort to keep current with the cost of providing services, the City Council authorized Staff to implement the recommendations and fee adjustment from the fee study on January 19, 2016. The City Council also directed Staff to annually adjust the City’s Schedule of Fees and Charges by the change in the Consumer Price Index - Los Angeles Area (CPI) with a minimum increase of 2% and a maximum increase of 5% for most fee categories. This provision allows City fees to keep pace with increased costs for services without having to conduct a complete study each year. The CPI change from September 2019 through September 2020 was 1.2%; consequently, Staff has adjusted the majority of fees by 2.0%. The minimum increase of 2% is intended to mirror the City’s labor cost inflation. The City’s labor costs typically increase annually, even when there is small change in the CPI. There are several fees that fall outside the parameter of the previous direction provided by the City Council. Specifically, twelve (12) new fees are being proposed (Attachment 4, Table 1) to reflect new programs and/or to enhance the City’s ability to provide services. The new fees include: 1) Public Art Project Fee - Sect. 61 S-061 (Planning Division) $500 - To recoup the cost of service for the entitlement permit including processing and review of public art projects. 2) Non-Residential Landscape Review - Sect. 62 S62 (Planning Division) $468 - To recoup the cost of service for the entitlement permit including processing and landscape reviews of non- residential projects. 3) Accessory Dwelling Unit Permit Amendment - Sect. 63 S-063 (Planning Division) $1,044 - To recoup the cost of service for the entitlement permit for the processing and review of existing Accessory Dwelling Unit permits. 4) Curb Drain (Per Drain) 47 S-8.1 - Engineering Division- $168 - These Drains are installed to control runoff, and/or drainage in the parkway. This fee was part of the engineering division fee schedule and was added to the Citywide Schedule of fees and charges for transparency. 5) Concrete Pavement (Up to 100LF no deposit) Sect. 48 - S-8.2 - Engineering Division $503 - Purpose of the concreate pavement is to restore roads that are paved with portland cement concrete such as truck routes and heavy intersections. This fee was part of the engineering division fee schedule and was added to the Citywide Schedule of fees and charges for transparency. 6) Concrete Pavement (For each additional 100LF no deposit) Sect. 48 - S-8.2 - Engineering Division $168 – Purpose of the concreate pavement is to restore roads that are paved with portland cement concrete such as truck routes and heavy intersections.
