the program.

Retailer Permit program for the City. In 2017, the City adopted Ordinance No. 5418, which
established a tobacco retailer permit program to be administered by the County. The City Council
also approved an agreement between the City and the County of Santa Clara to administer the
s behalf.
C.
Clara, the City intends to set its program fees at the same levels as those set by the Board of
Supervisors of the County of Santa Clara.

Products) of Title 4 (Business Licenses and Regulations) is hereby amended to read as follows
(unchanged text is in plain font, additions to code are in underlineditalics font):
4.64.100 Fees.
The city or its designee shall not issue or renew a retailer permit prior to full payment of any
applicable fees. The city shall, from time to time, establish by resolution or ordinance the fees to
issue or to renew a retailer permit. The fees shall be calculated so as to recover the cost of
administration and enforcement of this chapter, including, for example, issuing a permit,
administering the permit program, conducting retailer education, performing retailer inspection
and compliance checks, documenting violations, and prosecuting violators, but shall not exceed the
cost of the regulatory program authorized by this chapter. All fees and interest earned from such
fees shall be used exclusively to fund administration and enforcement of this chapter.
SECTION 3. The Council of the City of Palo Alto adopts the changes to the Municipal

SECTION 4. The amount of the new fees is no more than necessary to cover the
reasonable costs of the governmental activity, and the manner in which those costs are allocated to
received
from, the governmental activity.

SECTION 5. Fees in the Municipal Fee Schedule are for government services provided
directly to the payor that are not provided to those not charged. The amount of this fee does not
exceed the reasonable costs of providing the services. Consequently, pursuant to Art. XIII C, Section
l(e)(2) of the California Constitution, such fees are not a tax.
SECTION 6. The Council finds that this project is exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), pursuant to Section 15061 of the CEQA Guidelines,
because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance will have a
significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 7. This ordinance shall be effective on the 31st day after the date of its
adoption except for Section 3, which shall be effective sixty days after the date of its adoption.
