City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Jessica Alcaraz
Submitting Department: Finance/Treasury
Meeting Date: April 5, 2022
SUBJECT
General Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2022-2023
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-06 approving and adopting the General Fee Schedule for Fiscal
Year (FY) 2022-2023.
Background:
The City provides services for a fee to an individual or business at an estimated reasonable
cost of providing the particular service for which the fee is charged, a calculation that
considers the cost for efficient and effective delivery of services by City resources. Fees that
do not recover the full cost of service result in a subsidy which may impact funding and the
City's ability to address various community needs. Examples of City fees include business
licenses, building permits, development permits, and health and environmental control
services.
As part of the annual budget process, the City's General Fee Schedule is reviewed to ensure
that the fees are set in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. City departments
review fees for services and make recommendations to add new fees, and/or delete or make
changes to existing fees. In coordination with departments, Finance reviews the changes
submitted, and prepares a draft fee schedule for presentation to members of the community
and City Council as part of a public hearing. The updated draft General Fee Schedule for FY
2022-2023 contains a few fee additions, mainly in the Building Permit Fees and Engineering
Fees sections, non-substantive administrative edits, and Vernon Municipal Code section
citation revisions which are each highlighted in Exhibit A to the attached resolution.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 66014, on March 10, 2022, the public hearing notice
was posted at City Hall and on the City's website, and published in the Huntington Park
Bulletin (Attachment 2).
Fiscal Impact:
The General Fee Schedule establishes the amounts the City can charge for services. With the
exception of the few new fees added to the schedule, existing fees remain unchanged.
Revenue from fees collected, which is anticipated to include approximately $1,193,500 from
Charges for Services and $2,310,900 from Licenses and Permits, will be included in the City's
projected budget for FY 2022-2023.
