Each year, for the convenience of the public the City Council gathers in a single document a comprehensive listing of fees and service charges imposed by the City upon that limited number of persons seeking services of value from the City, For the public's convenience, various rates charged for City commodities, such as the water rate, are also included in this document. B. This document is known as the "Miscellaneous Fee Schedule" for Fiscal Year 2007-2008 and is attached to this resolution and made a part hereof by this reference. C. As part of approving the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2007 -2008, the various agencies of the City have analyzed the cost to administer the various programs, activities and applications for which the City charges, fees or service charges. D. In a few, limited circumstances, agencies have determined that the cost to the City to process or undertake the services set forth in the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule has increased over the prior fiscal year by approximately 4.7%, so that certain proposed fees for Fiscal Year 2006-2007 have been increased by this percentage, or by this amount rounded. This percentage reflects the change in the Consumers Price Index-Urban, All Services Component, for the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County area in a twelve month period ending December 31,2006 (CPI). E.

Such 4.7% increase does not exceed the City's estimated reasonable cost to provide the pertinent service, process the specified application or administer the certain program for which the charge, fee or service charge is imposed. F. Similarly, in a few limited circumstances, new charges have been added or existing charges raised beyond this 4.7% cost of providing services. In each of these cases, the Council further finds, determines and declares that such new or increased Resolution No. 2007-046 Page 1 of 73
