F. Similarly, in a few limited circumstances, agencies have determined that new charges should be added or existing charges raised beyond this 1.1%. Such charges are listed in the `Proposed New Miscellaneous Fees' and `Proposal to Modify Existing Fees', attached to the staff report submitted for this matter, and made a part hereof by this reference. G. In order to have a single comprehensive document for Fiscal Year 2011 - 2012, the majority of fees which are unchanged have simply been reprinted in the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule. The Council expressly states that it is not its intention to repeal previously adopted fees and adopt new fees of exactly the same amount, but is simply repeating these fees so that the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule can continue to be a comprehensive source of City fees and service charges. H. As to the City's Special Event Paramedic Standby Fee, the Council further finds, determines and declares: 1. This fee will be recovered from those persons requesting that the Santa Ana Fire Department make a paramedic unit available for the duration of a special event held at the City's parks, Stadium or public venues and for which a Special Event Permit requirement includes the availability of medical aid and transport. 2. This fee will be applied to reimburse the City for the staff time and administrative costs to assist with paramedic standby requests. 1. As to the City's Inmate Cash Card Fee, the Council further finds, determines and declares: 1. This fee will be collected from Santa Ana Jail inmates who, upon release from jail, request that their commissary account be returned via a Cash (debit ) Card rather than a City issued check. 2. This fee will be applied to reimburse the City for the actual banking cost associated with the issuance of such a card and will be deducted from the balance remaining in the inmate's commissary account. J. In each of these cases, the Council finds, determines and declares that such new or increased charges, fees or service charges do 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. K. Based upon the testimony, reports and other evidence submitted on these matters, this City Council makes the above-specified findings. Resolution No. 2011-031 Page 2 of 4
