<br />J. As to the City's Trench Cut Fee which is increased in this year's <br />Miscellaneous Fee Schedule, the Council finds, determines and declares: <br /> <br />1. Santa Ana Municipal Code, Chapter 33, Article III regulates <br />excavations in paved streets within the City. <br /> <br />2. Pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal Code section 33.59.1 the <br />City Council shall set reasonable trench cut fees by resolution. <br /> <br />3. The trench cut fee has not been adjusted since its adoption in <br />2001. The Council has determined that the Engineering News Record index, better <br />reflects the increase in costs associated with trench cuts than does the Consumer Price <br />Index for All Urban Consumers, as identified in a report prepared by the City, a true and <br />correct copy of which is on file with the Clerk of the Council. <br /> <br />K. As to the City's Enterprise Zone Hiring Tax Credit Application Processing <br />Fee, the Council further finds, declares and determines: <br /> <br />1. This fee will be collected from businesses requesting the <br />review of Enterprise Zone (EZ) Hiring Tax Credit Applications (said Applications) for the <br />possible issuance of EZ Hiring Tax Credit Vouchers. <br /> <br />2. This fee includes an existing fee of $10.00 which is collected <br />for and remitted to the State of California. The remaining portion of this fee will be <br />applied to partially reimburse the City for the staff time to train businesses on the <br />process of submitting said Applications, and to review, approve/deny said Applications <br />and issue EZ Hiring Tax Credit Vouchers. <br /> <br />3. A portion of the fee is assessed for and will be remitted to <br />the State Department of Housing and Community Development. <br /> <br />4. The fee for this service would not duplicate any existing fee, <br />charge, levy or other toll currently collected by the City or any public agency, and would <br />be distinct and separate from any current or future application review fee. <br /> <br />L. Based upon the testimony, reports and other evidence submitted on these <br />matters, this City Council makes the above-specified findings. <br /> <br />Section 2: The Miscellaneous Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2006-2007 is <br />hereby adopted. Each fee or service charge set forth shall be levied until further <br />resolution of this Council. <br /> <br />Section 3: To the extent that any fee or service charge established pursuant to <br />City Resolution No. 2005-052 is inconsistent with the fees or service charges <br />established pursuant to this Resolution, then said Resolution No. 2005-052 is hereby <br />repealed. <br /> <br />Resolution <br />Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />75A-14 <br />
