SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE 2005/2006
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.
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, be 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).
For the 2005/2006 fiscal year, staff reviewed fees and charges and recommends fees and charges
authorized and established in prior year Comprehensive Fee Schedule remain the same except
for the following fee increases:
• Copy charge increased from $0.15 per page to $0.25 per page to help recover the costs of
paper, toner and machine lease. (Page 1 of the Comprehensive Fee Resolution)
• Economic Interest Disclosure and Campaign Statements increased from $0.10 per page to
$0.15 per page to help recover costs of paper, toner and machine lease. (Page 1 of the
Comprehensive Fee Resolution)
• Election Documents increased from $0.15 to $0.25 per page to help recover costs of paper,
toner and machine lease. (Page 1 of the Comprehensive Fee Resolution)

• Cat licenses were removed from the Animal Control Fees. (See page 10, Section B of the

$25 per hour to reflect recovery of actual costs. (See page 23, Section 7, #4b of the

specified through this Resolution, other City Council resolutions, the Code of the City of Seal
Beach, or other state or federal ruling increased from 27.4% to 32.4%. This increase is based
on the 5% consumer price index as of April 2005 for the Los Angeles Urban Area. (See Page
24, Section 9 of the Comprehensive Fee Resolution.)
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended Comprehensive Fee Schedule will balance cost recovery of services rendered
and, therefore, reduce General Fund tax and revenue subsidies.
