TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council 4
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Mac Cummins, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE FEE
SCHEDULE 2001/2002
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Establish the rates and amounts of fees and charges for certain goods, services and
facilities provided by the City of Seal Beach and supersede inconsistent provisions of
previously approved resolutions. Specifically, this is a request to add a fee to process the
recently approved "special events permit." The proposed fee would be $100.
BACKGROUND:
Under State of California guidelines, fees and charges for municipal goods and services
are to be set at a rate equivalent or below costs incurred in providing for that service.
Fees are to be based on an analysis of costs and may not be arbitrarily set. A fee or
charge may, as a matter of public policy, he set at a rate below costs, when a public
benefit or good exists in having the General Fund subsidy for specific service to an
individual(s).
The proposed fee would cover the costs incurred by City Staff in the processing of
requests for special event permits. The process, as approved by the City Council, calls for
a 100 foot mailing radius to send notification of a pending special event permit. The costs
of staff time, in conjunction with the mailout, exceeds the $100 fee collected for this
process. However, as staff currently collects $100 for Minor Plan Review applications
with a similar 100 foot radius, staff felt that this was the appropriate amount of money to
collect for the special event permit application. A detailed description of cost spending is
attached as attachment 1.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended Comprehensive Fee Schedule will balance cost recovery of services
rendered and, therefore, reduce General Fund tax and revenue subsidies.
Agenda Item Ip
City Council adopt the Amended Comprehensive Fee Schedule establishing the rates and
amount of fees and charges for good, services and facilities provided by the City of Seal
Beach.
