CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. _________
AMENDING MASTER FEE RESOLUTION NO. 12191 TO ADD AND REVISE FEES WHEREAS, the Alameda Municipal Code and the California Government Code provide that the City Council shall set fees reasonable to recover the cost of providing various services by resolution; and WHEREAS, the City Council, at the August 27, 1991 Special City Council meeting directed City staff to amend the Alameda Municipal Code to reflect that City fees shall be set by City Council Resolution; and WHEREAS, the City periodically amends Resolution No. 12191 and updates its Master Fee Schedule to account for various cost increases relating to municipal programs, services and activities; and WHEREAS, the City has experienced and anticipates continuing increases in the costs to operate and maintain municipal government citywide; and WHEREAS, the June 2, 2026, Staff Report including Exhibits 1-4 (the “Staff Report”) provided by staff in support of the amendments to Resolution No. 12191 includes proposed fees and charges, and documentation supporting the estimated and reasonable costs for continuing to provide the various government services; and WHEREAS, the investigations conducted by staff reflected in the Staff Report show that existing revenues are and will be insufficient to cover the current and projected costs of operating and maintaining identified government activities, service and programs; and WHEREAS, the fee modifications and additions proposed by staff, and the facts and analysis in support thereof, are identified in the Staff Report; and WHEREAS, the Staff Report shows that revenues derived from the proposed fees and charges will not exceed the funds required to provide the related government activities, services and programs of the government; and WHEREAS, the Staff Report shows that the amounts of the proposed fees and charges will not exceed the proportional cost of service provided or benefit attributable to each fee payer; and WHEREAS, the Staff Report shows that the proposed fees and charges for a product, benefit or service are imposed for a specific government product, benefit or service provided directly to the payer that is not provided to those not charged, and does not exceed the reasonable costs to the City of providing the product, benefit or service; and WHEREAS, State law authorizes local governments to charge fees for services based on the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged; and WHEREAS, the City Council is authorized to increase fees annually by the percentage increase in consumer and/or construction price indices for the San Francisco Bay Area.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Alameda that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated herein as findings and determinations of the City Council; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Master Fee Schedule as set forth in Resolution No. 12191, as amended, is hereby amended to modify and establish the fees assessed by the City’s Planning, Building, and Transportation Department, Fire Department, Public Works Department, and the Library, as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto, incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

49 Per Ordinance 1928, as referenced by Resolution 12191 and Resolution 14027, City fees are subject to administrative adjustments not greater than 5% annually. The February 2026 CPI is 2.5%. Therefore, except where noted, all fees have been administratively revised for a CPI rate increase of 2.5% allowed by ordinance.
Development related fees become effective 60 days after adoption pursuant to Government code Section 66017.
Fire Department fees that currently do not achieve a 100% cost recovery were increased by 8.92% (excluding EMS fees and new construction fees). The 8.92% includes the allowed 2.5% Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase and a 6.42% cost recovery catch-up increase per the council-approved 7-year catch-up plan.
The CA Construction Cost Index (CCCI) increase rate in April 2026 was calculated at -0.5%.
The Development Impact Fees (DIF) and Affordable Housing Fees were not increased.
