New fees are being proposed in the Community Services, Police and Fire Departments.
These fees fall into several categories:
Consolidation of Current (1995-96) Fees: Arts and Culture instructional class fees
and Fire Department hazardous materials storage fees.
Separation of 1995-96 Fees into New Fees: Arts and Culture sculpture garden with
kitchen rental fee, and Recreation’s youth sport registration fee for individuals. The
proposed fee for youth sport registration is part of an existing fee and is being
separated to establish a new category and tO clarify the fee schedule.
Fees for New Services: Junior Museum fees for new science outreach programs and
for rental of an available classroom.
Fees to Enhance Facility Usage: Super twilight fees for the Golf Course. This new
fee will allow the Golf Course to attract new golfers during non-peak periods and
maximize usage of the course.
Fees Reflecting Legal or Regulatory Requirements: Police parking fmes for straddling
of lines in disabled spaces, inspection fee for underground tank lining, and a fee for
facility rental liability.
Compliance Fees: Police fees for impoundment and confinement of stray dogs and
cats after notification of fourth offense, and recreation athletic field deposit fee. This
last fee is to encourage patrons to be careful in their treatment of the fields.
Fees to Maximize Cost Recovery and Reimbursement: Paramedic medication and IV
solution fees, home inspection fee for quarantined animals and a fee for hiring a
lifeguard on overtime or holidays. The fee for the lifeguard is proposed to allow the
City to better capture the costs of providing a lifeguard to persons renting a pool on
a holiday or when the employee must work overtime to meet the renters’ needs.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the Municipal Fee Schedule with proposed amendments will result in a revenue
increase of approximately $119,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Adjustment to the Municipal Fee Schedule does not constitute a project for the purposes of
the California Environmental Quality Act.
