Miscellaneous Fees (Fees) <br />are intended to recover the City's costs associated with delivering the corresponding <br />services; however, the Fee prices do not exceed the City's actual costs in delivering the <br />service, in accordance with state law. <br />The City's primary cost for providing these services is staff labor, and each year the <br />cost of employee compensation increases. Staff compares the Consumer Price Index <br />for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the Los Angeles -Long Beach -Anaheim area to the <br />increase of employee compensation; which includes negotiated salary increases, step <br />increases, and various benefit increases. As of December 2023, the increase in CPI <br />was 4.66%, which is in line with the increased cost of employee compensation. <br />The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency (PRCSA) is in the process of <br />analyzing their fees and may return to City Council in the future with recommendations <br />for fee adjustments. In the meantime, the proposed budget includes a 4.66% increase <br />for all fees other than existing or modified PRCSA fees. <br />The FY 2024-2025 Miscellaneous Fees Schedule (Schedule) identifies all fees <br />assessed as well as proposed new fees and those recommended for adjustment <br />(Exhibit 5).
