RESOLUTION NO. 2025-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM ADOPTING NEW FEE SCHEDULES FOR THE
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Municipal Code and the provisions of state law authorize the City Council of the City of Anaheim ("City Council") to establish fees and rates of charges for the purpose of defraying the costs and expenses to the City of Anaheim (the "City") of permits, map filing, map checking, inspection and other services and activities relating to the Anaheim Public Works Department (the "Department"); and WHEREAS, said costs and expenses include labor costs incurred by City staff and its consultants in reviewing, analyzing and processing of permit applications and providing services and other direct and indirect costs incurred by the City relating thereto (the "Public Works Fees"); and
WHEREAS, the City Council has heretofore established fees and rates of charges for such purposes pursuant to authorization of the Anaheim Municipal Code and in accordance with the requirements of state law; and
WHEREAS, due to increases in labor and materials costs, and the desire to impose fees and rates which more fully recover the actual costs incurred by the City in processing said applications and providing said services, as calculated and provided in cost of service studies (the "Cost Studies"), it is in the public interest and general welfare to amend said Public Works Fees in the manner hereinafter set forth; and WHEREAS, the Public Works Fees are hereinafter referred to as the "Fees"; and WHEREAS, said Fees as hereinafter set forth have been considered at a duly noticed public meeting or hearing as required by law; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that said Fees, in the amount hereinafter set forth in this resolution, are less than or equal to, but in any event do not exceed, the actual direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred by the City of Anaheim in providing said services.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. SERVICE FEES, PERMIT FEES
A. Adoption of Schedules. The Fees to be charged and collected by the Public Works Department of the City of Anaheim shall be as set forth in Exhibit "A," which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
B. Incorporation of Exhibit. Exhibit "A", inclusive, referred to and adopted pursuant to paragraph A of this Section 1 is hereby incorporated herein by this reference as if set forth in full. The fees and rates set forth in the Exhibit are based on full processing costs, which are defined as the direct cost required to receive, review, check, analyze, and take action upon applications, and provide inspection, re-inspection and other services, plus applicable overhead costs as determined pursuant to the Cost Studies, which are on file in the Department of Public Works, adjusted by no more than 3%, which is not in excess of the 12-month percent change (December 2024) in the Los Angeles — Long Beach — Anaheim, CA Consumer Price Index (Urban Consumers) (CPI-U). All costs for consultant services, in excess of the minimum hourly service fees set forth in Exhibit "A," and inclusive of any applicable in-house administrative costs, for services which cannot be completely processed in-house, shall be borne by the applicant. Any fees and charges incurred pursuant to this resolution shall be deemed a debt due and owing to the City of Anaheim by the applicant until paid in full.
C. Flat Fees. Where applicable, flat fees have been established for certain services where the average cost is subject to minimum fluctuation. These flat fees are as set forth in the respective Exhibits incorporated into this resolution.
D. Fees Based on Hourly Charges. Where applicable, hourly charges shall be accumulated for processing of the regulated activities, and the applicant shall pay all such accumulated charges (less any deposits made pursuant to Section 2 below) prior to final action on the permit or project , or as soon thereafter as such costs may be finally determined The payment of such costs may be made a condition of approval for any such permit or final project approval. If payment is not received within fifteen (15) working days after the invoice due date, all processing activities related to the regulated activities will be terminated until payment is received.
Section 2. SERVICE FEE DEPOSITS
A. Required Deposits. In cases where an hourly rate is being charged, as opposed to a flat fee, each applicant shall place on deposit with the City the sum specified in Exhibit "A" under the heading "Service Fee Deposits" for the applicable project. Deposits have been estimated to represent the minimum amount required to process each project. The costs of an individual project may be significantly more than the Minimum Initial Deposit amount.
B. Credits Against Deposit. Hourly charges incurred in the processing of the development project will be credited against the Minimum Initial Deposit amount on hand until all processing of the development project by the City has been completed and all costs incurred have been paid.
C. Additional Deposit(s) s ) Required. If at any time, or from time to time, the accumulated charged credited against the Minimum Initial Deposit (or any prior Additional Deposit) result in the remaining deposit amount being reduced below twenty-five percent (25%) of the Minimum Initial Deposit, and in the opinion of the Project Manager, the remaining deposit amount will be insufficient to cover the cost of the remaining charges likely to be incurred by the 2 City in processing such development project petition or application, the Depaitment of Public Works shall immediately notify the applicant of the additional amount required to be deposited by the applicant to continue the processing of such project (the "Additional Deposit"). The amount of any such Additional Deposit shall be sufficient to increase the balance to fifty percent (50%) of the Minimum Initial Deposit. During the processing of any project, more than one Additional Deposit may be required. If the amount of any such Additional Deposit is not received by the City within fifteen (15) working days after the due date set forth in the replenishment request, all then-current development project processing activities will be terminated until payment is received. In the event of such cessation of activity, all time limits provided for under state statutes for completion of development projects will be suspended for the duration thereof to the extent permitted by law.
Section 3. REFUNDS
If the amount on the deposit exceeds all accumulated costs at the time of the final action on the subject application and/or project services, the excess deposit amount shall be refunded to designated billing party as listed on the DTF/Trust account setup form.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED as follows:
1 That City Council Resolution No. 2024-071, establishing certain fees and charges, be, and the same is hereby, rescinded in its entirety.
2. The Fees set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by this reference herein, shall be, and are hereby, adopted.
3. The Fees established herein shall become effective sixty (60) days following the date of adoption of this Resolution.
4. The Fees established herein shall, upon becoming effective, supersede any fees previously adopted for the same purposes.
