WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Barstow has the authority to establish fees for City services; and
WHEREAS, the City finds it necessary to recover the costs of providing certain City services and said fees do not exceed the reasonable costs of providing the services for which fees are imposed; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has previously adopted a Master Fee Schedule at its June 17, 2025, Council meeting; and
WHEREAS, the consolidation of all City fees will assist the public, as well as City staff in readily locating fees and to continue the City's quest for governmental transparency; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Miscellaneous Fee for Equipment Rentals usage for City requested services will supersede any previously adopted or established fee for specified City services; and
WHEREAS, the Master Fee Schedule is evaluated each year to ensure that services are provided while consideration is taken into account in regards to cost recovery for services provided by the City; and
WHEREAS, in order for the City to recover the costs associated with certain services and fees, additions of fees related to the use of the City’s Equipment are proposed; and
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BARSTOW DOES HEREBY FIND, PROCLAIM, ORDER AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct, and the City Council so finds and determines:
A. For the convenience of the public it is desirable to gather in a single document a comprehensive list of fees and service charges imposed by the City for City services.
B. The document known as the "Master Fee Schedule" is amended per this resolution and is made a part hereof by this reference. Each fee or service charge is identified, and a new or increased fee is shown in green font.
C. In developing new or increased fees for the Master Fee Schedule, City staff has analyzed the cost to administer the various programs, activities and applications for which the City has proposed a new or increased fee or service charge and that the increased fee or charge does not exceed the estimated cost of providing such service.
D. It is not the intention to repeal previously adopted fees and adopt new fees of exactly the same amount from one fiscal year to the next, but is simply repeating these fees with the Resolution so that the Master Fee Schedule can be a comprehensive source of City fees and service charges.
Section 2. That the fees shown in the attached Table of Amendments are hereby adopted and each fee or service charge set forth in this Resolution shall be charged until further resolution of this Council.
Section 3. This Resolution supersedes all prior resolutions on the same subjects.
