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 2004/2005 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 (see attachment A for prior fee and increased fee): • Transportation Facilities and Programs Development Fees and Transportation Facilities and Programs Development Application Fees paid by developers increased 5.98 %. The 5.98% increase is the "Engineering News Record Construction Cost 20 City Average" from May 2003 to May 2004. • Contractor Business License fee and Business License fee increased 2.1% based on the Consumer Price Index as of February 2004 for the Los Angeles Urban Area. • Public Works Section 5 — Plan check and Review: Traffic Plan Review increased per application to recover actual cost. • Public Works Section 5 — Sewer Utility Services — Sewer Service Connection Charge — "Buy In" fees were increased based on the increase in the Engineering News Record of Construction Cost Index of 6.9644 %. • Public Works Section 5 — Water Utility Services — New Water Service Connection Charge — "Buy In" fees were increased based on the increase in the Engineering News Record of Construction Cost Index of 6.9644 %.

This increase is based on the 2.1% consumer price index as of February 2004 for the Los Angeles Urban Area. • Police Section 4 — Animal Control Fees — The City proposes increasing animal licenses to cover the cost of the new dog park.
