Section 1. It is hereby found and determined that federal and/or state set fees, deposit- based fees, and existing surcharges set forth and included within Exhibit A attached hereto are not subject to the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment; and Section 2. The adoption of this Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.), because it approves and sets forth a procedure for determining fees for the purpose of meeting the operating expenses of City departments, as set forth in Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8)(A) .
Section 3. This Resolution shall be effective upon its adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 17th day of July, 2024.
