These fees are intended to recover to the extent possible the <br />costs associated with delivering the associated services. Annually the fees and services <br />associated with the Miscellaneous Fees Resolution are reviewed and adjusted to reflect these <br />costs. Unless otherwise noted, the fees are adjusted 2.4%. This percentage reflects the change in <br />the Consumers Price Index -Urban, All Services Component, for the Los Angeles -Riverside - <br />Orange County area in a twelve month period ending December 31, 2014 (CPI). The FY 2015-16 <br />Miscellaneous Fees Resolution identifies all fees assessed as well as those recommended for <br />adjustment. The FY 2015-16 Miscellaneous Fees Schedule includes the continued waiver of the <br />Credit Card Processing Fee, and establishes one new fee, Major Commercial Modification <br />Review. There is also an existing fee proposed for modification beginning July 1, 2015, the <br />Rooftop Solar Permit fee. This fee was waived in past years in order to incentivize solar <br />installations. However with the expiration of the waiver at the end of June 2015, the Rooftop Solar <br />Permit fee is being modified to be in accordance with State mandate, S61222, placing limits on <br />the charge through 2017. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal #4 City Financial Stability, Objective #2 (provide a <br />reliable five-year financial forecast that ensures financial stability in accordance with the strategic <br />plan), Strategy A (adopt a budget that is in alignment with the financial forecast and strategic plan). <br />75A-2-1 <br />
