RESOLUTION NO. 2024-026 <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br />SANTA ANA ESTABLISHING A UNIFORM SCHEDULE OF <br />MISCELLANEOUS FEES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS <br />FOLLOWS: <br />Section 1: The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: <br />A. Each year, for the convenience of the public, the City Council gathers in a <br />single document a comprehensive listing of fees and service charges imposed by <br />the City upon those persons seeking services of value from the City. <br />B. This document is known as the "Miscellaneous Fee Schedule" for Fiscal <br />Year 2024-2025 and is on file at the City Clerk's office, and incorporated by this <br />reference. <br />C. As part of approving the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2024- <br />2025, the various agencies of the City have analyzed the cost to administer the <br />various programs, activities and applications for which the City imposes fees or <br />service charges. <br />D. On an annual basis, fees and related services associated with the <br />Miscellaneous Fee Resolution are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the City's <br />costs in delivering the services. As of December 2023, the Consumer Price Index <br />for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) is 4.66% for the Los Angeles -Long Beach - <br />Anaheim area. The City Council finds that the cost of providing the services set <br />forth in the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule for FY 2023-2024 must increase by <br />4.66% for the FY 2024-2025 Miscellaneous Fee Schedule to reflect the <br />compensation increase for City staff providing the services. Furthermore, each <br />city department has confirmed that the actual cost of providing the service does <br />not exceed the proposed fees for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. <br />E. In a few limited circumstances, agencies have determined that the fee <br />should be deleted; new charges should be added or modified; or, existing <br />charges raised. Such charges are listed in the `Proposed New Miscellaneous <br />Fees' and `Proposal to Modify Existing Fees', attached to the staff report <br />submitted for this matter and made a part hereof by this reference. <br />F. In order to have a single comprehensive document for Fiscal Year 2024- <br />2025, the majority of fees which are unchanged have simply been reprinted in <br />the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule. The Council expressly states that it is not its <br />Resolution No. 2024-026 <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
