--- (2) ---

Prior Ord. History: 386.

The city council hereby declares that it is the general policy of the city to recover the full cost of providing special services from the users of such services. However, in certain cases the city council may decide, for public policy reasons, to subsidize a municipal service by charging fees that are less than the actual cost of providing the service. Prior to adoption of the master fee schedule referred to in Section 3.32.020, the city council shall establish, by resolution, a percentage of cost recovery for each user fee or service charge set forth in the fee schedule. Unless a lower percentage is specifically authorized in the resolution, the percentage of cost recovery for any user fee or service charge contained in the master fee schedule shall be deemed to be one hundred percent (100%). In no event shall the percentage of cost recovery for any user fee or service charge contained in the fee schedule exceed one hundred percent (100%).

(Ord. 468 § 1(part), 2002).

The city council shall adopt, by resolution, a master fee schedule containing the fees and charges for services rendered by the various departments of the city for which payment is required to be made by the user of such service, including, but not limited to, the processing of applications for permits and land use entitlements by the planning and engineering departments, participation in recreational activities conducted by the parks and recreation department, issuance of special permits by the fire department, and requests to the police department for investigative services. The amount of each user fee or service charge contained in the schedule shall be based upon the percentage of cost the fee is intended to recover, as established in the cost recovery resolution adopted by the city council pursuant to Section 3.32.020.

(Ord. 468 § 1(part), 2002).

The master fee schedule and/or the percentage of cost recovery for any user fee or service charge, may be amended at any time by resolution of the city council.

(Ord. 468 § 1(part), 2002).

Prior to adoption or any amendment of the master fee schedule involving the establishment of a new fee or service charge or increase of an existing fee or service charge, the city council shall conduct a public hearing. If required by state law, notice of the public hearing shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 6062a of the Government Code.

(Ord. 468 § 1(part), 2002).
