Findings and Intent_ The City Council finds as follows. A. On October 4, 1982, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5159 establishing a fee schedule for the City. B. In December 1994, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach received the "Cost Control Study Update for the City of Huntington Beach, California- 1993-94" prepared by Management Services Institute, Inc. (the"MSI Study"). The MSI Study calculated the reasonable cost for providing City services, including, but not limited to, business license application and renewal permit fees, and planning, environmental and land use permit application fees. C. The MSI Study indicated that the cost to process new business license applications is $29.00. City Staff has recommended increasing the fee from $10.00 to $25.00, which will still amount to a $4.00 per application subsidy from the general fund. The MSI Study also indicated that the cost to process business license renewals is $12.00. City Staff has recommended increasing the fee from$6.00 to $12.00, which will elinunate the subsidy from the general fund. 1 S F/s W D:Re solution:Amendfee 9/9/96-92 RLS 96-638 D. The MSI Study indicated that the current fees charged for tentative subdivision maps, conditional use reviews and other planning applications recovers only 68% to 74% of the cost to provide the service. City Staff has recommended increasing the fees so that 90% of the cost to provide the service is recovered. Similarly, the Planning Review Fee is intended to recover the cost of an associate planner in reviewing building plans. Staff has recommended increasing this fee from 8%to 10% of the building inspection fee. This increase will recover only 40% of the cost the associate planner assigned to planning review. E. The MSI Study indicated that the current minimum$20.00 fee charged for building inspections is below the actual $32.50 cost. City Staff has recommended increasing these fees to achieve full cost recovery. F. The Police Department has estimated the cost of booking arrestees, performing laboratory work for driving under the influence tests and preparing crime reports. These estimates are contained in the three separate memorandum: Memorandum from Sgt. Thomas Donnelly, to Scott Field regarding booking fees, dated September 5, 1996; Memorandum from Eston Schwecke, Chief Criminalist, to Jim Moore, Police Budget and Research, regarding DUI tests, dated September 4, 1996, and Memorandum from Jim Moore, Police Budget and Research, to Ronald E. Lowenberg, Chief of Police, regarding suggestions for increasing revenue. City Staff has recommended establishing these fees at the actual cost of providing the service. G. The City Council has considered the above referenced reports, as well as additional City Staff reports, and public testimony and information received at a noticed public hearing to consider the establishment of new fees and the increase of existing fees charged to the public for various City services- 2 SF/sTCD:Resolution:Amendfee 9/10/96-#2 RLS 96-639 96-87 SECTION 2.
