Fee Schedule to Incorporate New Fees Related to

SUMMARY:
The Lathrop Police Department ( LPD) took over law enforcement services from the San Joaquin County Sheriff' s office in June 2022. Currently, the San Joaquin County Sheriff' sDepartment processes new and renewal applications for Concealed Carry Weapons ( CCW) permits for San Joaquin County residents, including those residing within City of Lathrop City limits. Penal Code Sections 26150 - 26230 govem CCW license issuance and renewal. Section 26155 allows for the Chief of Police, or other head of a municipal police department of a city or county to issue or renew CCW licenses.
Many local jurisdictions within San Joaquin County have implemented their own CCW Program. The City of Lathrop Police Department wishes to implement a CCW Permit Program to serve the residents of the City of Lathrop that desire to apply for a CCW permit.
Additionally, the City of Lathrop Police Department is proposing fees related to the CCW Program. These fees have been calculated based on anticipated costs to the Police Department to process CCW permit applications, Costs include Department of Justice fee, filling fee, and expected rates for application management, software, and staff time, per application. No additional revenue above actual costs is expected.
The proposed new fees to be added to the Public Safety section of the adopted Master Fee Schedule are outlined in the table below:
Account Number Description Proposed Fee
1010- 4- 50- 341- 03- 12 CCW Initial Fee 285. 00
1010- 4- 50- 341- 03- 12 CCW Issuance Fee 172. 00
1010- 4- 50- 341- 03- 12 CCW Modification/ Duplication Fee 25. 00 CITY MANAGER' SREPORT PAGE 2

PUBLIC HEARING ( PUBLISHED NOTICE) TO UPDATE THE PUBLIC SAFETY
SECTION OF THE CITY OF LATHROP' S MASTER FEE SCHEDULE TO
INCORPORATE NEW FEES RELATED TO CONCEALED WEAPON PERMITS BACKGROUND:
The San Joaquin County Sheriff' sDepartment has the ability to issue and renew CCW permits for residents within San Joaquin County. Additionally, cities within a County also have the ability to implement a CCW Permit Program to process applications for residents of that City.
City staff has reviewed the San Joaquin County Sheriff' sDepartment CCW Permit Prog ram, as well as the cities within San Joaquin County that are currently processing CCW permit applications and renewals. Although the fees vary by jurisdiction, the processes are very similar because the Penal Code ( Sections 26150-6230) govem the process. Fees vary based on the number of applications and the amount of staff time required to process applications. A cost comparison of cities within San Joaquin County is included as Exhibit C.
Penal Code Section 26190 authorizes jurisdictions to charge up to fifty (50) percent of the total local fee plus, which consists of reasonable costs for processing the application, upon submission of the application. In addition to the local fee, the initial fee can include actual costs for Department of Justice fees and the filling fee. The remaining fifty ( 50) percent of the local fee is collected upon issuance of the CCW permit, if approved. The local fee consists of an amount equal to reasonable costs for processing the application for a new license or a license renewal. Additionally, the applicant is responsible for fees associated with requirements for training, backg round investigation, and psychological evaluations. These fees, if required, are payable by the applicant directly to the vendor.
Lathrop Police Department proposes the following fees:
Permit Standard 2 -Year
Initial Fee 285. 00
Issuance Fee 172. 00
Mod/ Dup Fee 25. 00
Staff is currently not proposing fees for renewal applications. Due to the lack of access to original applications for current CCW Permit holders, held by San Joaquin County Sheriff' soffice, any application accepted by the Lathrop Police Department will be considered a new application. A standard CCW permit is active for a two ( 2) year term. Any renewals processed by Lathrop Police Department will be after the initial two- year time period lapses. Fees for renewals will be determined based on actual costs at that time.
