A RESOLUTION OF THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL
REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 6249 AND THE ANNUAL
INCREASE PROVISION FOR CERTAIN FEES BASED UPON
INCREASES TO THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX TO RECOVER
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING PUBLIC SERVICES
WHEREAS, on April 23, 2012, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public
hearing concerning the proposed fees. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the
City Council adopted a motion to amend the City's Fee Schedule to establish the
fees charged by the City for providing services be adjusted annually on July 1st of
each year in accordance with the increase in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI").
The adjustment will be equal to the increase, if any, to the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles -Riverside -Orange County
Metropolitan Area published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics for the 12 month period ending December 31, 2011, and
published each anniversary of December 31 thereafter;
WHEREAS, since the time of adoption of Resolution No. 6249 the Consumer
Price Index has risen approximately nine percent in total but incrementally some of
the fee adjustments were so small that no change was made to some of the fees.
' At the same time salary and benefit costs have risen as a much greater pace. In
addition, Department of Labor will no longer publish the specific index cited going
forward. The repeal of this resolution will allow staff to recommend to the City
Council incremental adjustments to the fees that bring the cost of service more in
line with the reasonable cost of providing the service; and
WHEREAS, at the March 7' 2018 Strategic Planning Meeting the goal "Achieve
Short- and Long-term Fiscal Sustainability' was updated to include the need to
repeal this resolution. The purpose for the repeal is to allow for flexibility in
adjusting the fees in the City's Comprehensive Fee Schedule.
NOW THEREFORE THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE:
Section 1. That the Seal Beach City Council hereby repeals Resolution No.
6249 titled "A Resolution of the Seal Beach City Council amending the City' s
