AGENDA MATTER:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BARSTOW, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE FEE SCHEDULE AND ADOPTING FEES FOR EQUIPMENT RENTAL FEES (FY 2025/2026) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Subsequent to the annual Master Fee Schedule review and adoption completed June 17, 2025, staff became aware of an occurrence related to equipment rentals that was not previous included in the fee schedule. As a result, an update to the resolution to adopt the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Miscellaneous Fee Schedules is required and attached for the Council's review and consideration.
DISCUSSION:
In the event that non City sponsored events occur and require the use of City owned equipment, the current adopted Master Fee Schedule does not include a fee specifically for cost recovery of the use of said equipment. The proposed fee schedule has been amended to include the following Miscellaneous Fee:
- Equipment Rental Fee based on the State of California, California State Transportation Agency, Department of Transportation's Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates.
The Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates can be found at https://dot.ca.gov/programs/construction/equipment-rental-rates-and-labor-surcharge and the current rates effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026 can be found at https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dotmedia/programs/construction/documents/equipment-rental-rates-and-labor-surcharge/book_25_26.pdf.
If approved, the newly adopted fee schedule will go into effect immediately after the Council’s approval unless otherwise noted. These proposed changes are included in the attached table recommended for adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed Equipment Rental Fee is charged by the City of Barstow to provide services requested beyond regulary scheduled departmental duties and recover the costs associated for the request.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution No. ____-2025 amending the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Fee Schedule and adopting fees for Equipment Rentals, and waive the full reading.
