RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution amending the fee for Release of Impounded Vehicles (Unlicensed or
Suspended/Revoked Driver's Licenses) for Fiscal Year 2019-2020.
DISCUSSION
The Miscellaneous Fee Schedule is comprised of various charges associated with various City
services. On an annual basis, fees and related services associated with the Miscellaneous Fee
Resolution, are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the City's costs in delivering the services.
Unless otherwise noted, the Fees are increased 3.92%. This percentage increase reflects the
change in the Consumers Price Index (CPI) — Urban, All Services Components, for the Los
Angeles — Riverside — Orange County area in a twelve-month period ending December 31, 2018.
At their June 4, 2019 regulary scheduled meeting, the City Council adopted a Resolution
establishing a Uniform Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees for Fiscal Year 2019-2020. Upon
subsequent review of the fee schedule, it was noted that the following fee was inadvertently
deleted prior to Council approval.
Fee
I FY 2018-2019
FY 2019-2020
Release of Impounded Vehicles (Unlicensed or
$218.74
Suspended/Revoked Driver's Licenses)$210.49
This Fee is intended to cover staff costs associated with impounding a vehicle, conducting the
post storage hearing, and completing the release paperwork. The deletion of the Fee was a
clerical error and approval of the proposed Resolution is recommended to re-establish the fee in
the FY 2019-2020 Misellaneous Fee Schedule. The Police Department has confirmed the actual
cost of providing the service does not exceed the proposed fees for FY 2019-2020.

A. Each year, for the convenience of the public, the City Council gathers in a
single document a comprehensive listing of fees and service charges imposed by the City

B. This document is known as the "Miscellaneous Fee Schedule' for Fiscal
Year 2019-2020 and is on file at the Clerk of the Council office.
C. As part of approving the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2019-

programs, activities and applications for which the City imposes fees or service charges.
D. The City Council adopted the City's Miscellaneous Fee Resolution on June
4, 2019 (Resolution 2019-038). During a recent review of the adopted fees, staff
discovered that a certain fee published within the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule for FY 19-

the City.
E. The adopted FY 18-19 Miscellaneous Fee Schedule provided an
established Fee of $210.49. The proposed amount recommended by staff for FY 19-20
is $218.74.
F. The Council finds, determines and declares that such corrected 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.
G. Accordingly, the City Council has determined to make the following
corrections to the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2019-20.

pursuant to this Resolution, such inconsistencies in Resolution No. 2019-038 are hereby
repealed.

clause, phrase or word of this Resolution is for any reason held to be invalid by a court of

adopted this Resolution, and each and all provisions hereof, irrespective of the fact
