The maximum reasonable cost of performing a presentence investigation and preparing a presentence report, which is determined by the board of supervisors not to exceed the actual average cost thereof, is fixed at two hundred dollars ($200.00) for each superior court presentence investigation investigation and report. The foregoing costs are subject to revision from time to time by resolution of the board of supervisors upon a finding that such increase is necessary due to an increase in the actual average cost of such services.
