Ordinance No. 5404
Ordinance of the Council of the City of Palo Alto to Update the Fiscal
Year 2017 Municipal Fee Schedule to Adjust Development Services
Department Fees
The City Council of the City of Palo Alto does hereby ORDAIN as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings and declarations.
A. In 2016, the Development Services Department completed Phase I of a fee study to
update fees for services. Due to the timing of the study, fiscal year (FY) 2016 data was used, as
it was the most recent data available when the study commenced.
B. On June 13, 2016, Council adopted changes to the Fiscal Year 2017 Municipal Fee
Schedule, applying a 5.5 percent average salary and benefits adjustment to most City fees.
Development Services Department fees were not updated with most other City fees as part of
costs.
C. On November 15, 2016, the Finance Committee reviewed the fee study and
recommended adoption of an ordinance updating Development Services Department fees in
adjustment of 5.5 percent.
SECTION 2. The Council of the City of Palo Alto adopts the changes to the Municipal
Fee Schedule as set forth in Exhibit "1" incorporated here by reference. When effective, such
fees shall supersede any prior inconsistent fees charged by the Development Services
Department.
SECTION 3. The amount of the new or increased fees and charges is no more than
necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the governmental activity, and the manner in which
those costs are allocated to a payer bears a fair and reasonable relationship to the payer's
burden on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity.
SECTION 4. 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 to the City of providing the services. Consequently, pursuant to
Art. XIII C, Section l(e)(2), such fees are not a tax.
SECTION 5. Effective Date. The fee increases proposed for FY 2017 described in
Exhibit 1 shall become effective no sooner than sixty (60) days from the date of adoption of
this ordinance.
