This <br />process includes a review of insurance documents, updating the city's database and a visual inspection of each <br />newsbox. When the program was developed, the fee structure included a one-time newsbox inspection. <br />However, in practice an annual inspection is required to insure compliance with placement and maintenance <br />requirements of the Municipal Code. Currently program costs exceed revenues by approximately $20,000 <br />annually. An estimated $20,000 per year will be generated from these modifications to make the program self <br />sustaining. <br />Staff has reviewed the fees of ] 9 cities in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and other California counties. <br />Most cities impose an annual newsbox fee that ranges from $10.00 to $134.40. The proposed Annual <br />Inspection Fee of $4].61 is in line with the findings, and in many cases is lower than average. The existing <br />Initial Permit Fee and Renewal Permit Fee have also been increased to make the program self sustaining. <br />89 <br />
