LS 6/2/14 <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2014- <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 2014 -2015 <br />AND REPEALING IN PART RESOLUTION NO. 2013 -031 <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS <br />FOLLOWS: <br />Section 1: The City Council hereby, finds, determines and declares as follows: <br />A. Each year, for the convenience of the public, the City Council gathers in a <br />single 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 <br />Year 2014 -2015 and is on file at the Clerk of the Council office, and incorporated by this <br />reference. <br />C. As part of approving the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year <br />2014- 2015, 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 or service <br />charges. <br />D. In certain circumstances, agencies have determined that the cost to the <br />City to process or undertake the services set forth in the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule <br />has increased over the prior fiscal year by approximately 2.2 %, so that certain proposed <br />fees for Fiscal Year 2014 -2015 have been increased by this percentage, or by this <br />amount rounded. This percentage reflects the change in the Consumers Price Index - <br />Urban, All Services Component, for the Los Angeles- Riverside - Orange County area in a <br />twelve month period ending December 31, 2013 (CPI). <br />E. The Council finds that the cost of providing the services set forth in the <br />Miscellaneous Fee Schedule has risen by 2.2% and that this reflects the cost of <br />administering certain programs, activities or applications for which the City levies <br />charges, fees or service charges. Such 2.2% increase does not exceed the City's <br />estimated reasonable cost to provide the pertinent service, process the specified <br />application or administer the certain program for which the charge, fee or service charge <br />is imposed. <br />F. Similarly, in a few limited circumstances, agencies have determined that <br />new charges should be added or existing charges raised beyond this 2.2 %. Such <br />charges are listed in the `Proposed New Miscellaneous Fees' and `Proposal to Modify <br />75B—Resolution No. 2014 -XXX <br />L Page 1 of 3 <br />
