(d) Fees set in this Section 8.33.1 in subsection (a) are applicable to fiscal year 2024-2025. Those fees shall be adjusted each year, without further action by the Board of Supervisors, to reflect changes in the relevant Consumer Price Index, as determined by the Controller, and to produce revenues sufficient to support the costs of providing the services for which the fees are assessed, but which will not produce revenue which is significantly more than the cost of providing the services for which the fees are assessed, also as determined by the Controller. (1) No later than April 15 of each year, the County Clerk shall submit its current fee schedule to the Controller, and shall report to the Controller the revenues generated by the fees for the prior fiscal year and the prior fiscal year’s costs for the services for which the fees are assessed, as well as any other information that the Controller determines appropriate to the performance of the Controller’s duties set forth in this Section 8.33.1. The Controller shall apply the price index adjustment and if necessary, adjust the fees upward or downward for the upcoming fiscal year as appropriate to ensure that costs of providing the services are recovered without producing revenue which is significantly more than such costs to produce a new fee schedule for the following year. (2) No later than May 15 of each year, the Controller shall file a report with the Board of Supervisors reporting the new fee schedule and certifying that: (A) the fees produce sufficient revenue to support the costs of providing the services for which each fee is assessed, and (B) the fees do not produce revenue which is significantly more than the costs of providing the services for which each fee is assessed.
