RESOLUTION NO. 2026-028 <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 2026-2027 <br /> BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS <br /> FOLLOWS: <br /> Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, <br /> and declares as follows: <br /> A. Each year, for the convenience of the public, the City Council gathers in a single <br /> document a comprehensive listing of fees and service charges imposed by the <br /> City upon those persons seeking services of value from the City. <br /> B. This document is known as the "Miscellaneous Fee Schedule" for Fiscal Year <br /> 2026-2027 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 2026- <br /> 2027, 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 <br /> or 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 2025, the Consumer Price <br /> Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) is 3.59% for the Los Angeles-Long <br /> Beach-Anaheim area. The City Council finds that the cost of providing the <br /> services set forth in the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule for FY 2025-2026 must <br /> increase by 4% for the FY 2026-2027 Miscellaneous Fee Schedule to reflect <br /> the compensation increase for City staff providing the services. <br /> E. In some circumstances, agencies have determined that a fee should be <br /> deleted; new charges should be added or modified; or existing charges raised. <br /> Such charges are listed in the "Deleted Miscellaneous Fees, `New <br /> Miscellaneous Fees' and `Modify Existing Fees', attached to the staff report <br /> submitted for this matter and made a part hereof by this reference. <br /> F. To provide a single, comprehensive document for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, the <br /> majority of fees that remain unchanged have simply been reprinted in the <br /> Miscellaneous Fee Schedule, The Council expressly states that it does not <br /> intend to repeal previously adopted fees and adopt new fees of exactly the <br /> same amount. It is simply repeating these fees so that the Miscellaneous Fee <br /> Schedule can continue to be a comprehensive source of City fees and service <br /> charges. <br /> Resolution No. 2026-028 <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br />
