HomeMy WebLinkAboutCity Council - 2007-58 9/0Y/A06 RESOLUTION NO. 2007-58 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH ESTABLISHING A CITYWIDE USER FEES SCHEDULE AND REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 2005-74 AND ALL SUPPLEMENTAL RESOLUTIONS THERETO WHEREAS, in 2005 the City Council commissioned Public Resource Management Group, LLC ("PRM") to identify the cost of fee-related services to assure the City was charging the proper amount of fee for the service. The PRM study determined that labor cost was an appropriate component of fees based on a fair distribution of all Citywide and departmental overhead costs as described in the 2005 study across all activities; and The City Council approved the PRM study in 2005, finding that fees for any service should include a cost component that can be directly or indirectly associated with the service; and City Council now desires to update the current fee schedule until such time as the City undertakes an analysis similar to the 2005 PRM; and City Staff has determined that the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") is a well established statistical estimate of the level of prices of goods and services bought for consumption for purposes by households. The change in the CPI is a measure of inflation and can be used as a reasonable indexation or evaluation of the cost of goods and services; and City Staff has further determined that the CPI Index, for the period of November 2005 to April 2007 has increased by 5.96%, which is a reasonable calculation of the increase of the City's overhead costs to provide City services; and The City Council desires to update existing fees charged to the public and to increase fees consistent with City Staff s analysis, and impose fees that do not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fees are imposed, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach as follows: 1. The fees set forth in Exhibit"A" and adopted by this Resolution shall be effective immediately following the adoption of this Resolution, and continue thereafter. 2. The City Council hereby determines that the CPI for the period since November, 2005 is 5.96% and is an accurate reflection of the increased departmental overhead costs incurred by the City to provide the City services included in Exhibit A. 07-1191/13542-user 1 Resolution No. 2007-58 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach that Resolution No. 2005-74 is hereby repealed. PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the 4th day of September , 2007.
