City Council Staff Report

DATE: JUNE 17, 2025

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

FROM: OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT

FINANCE DIVISION

DISTRICT: ALL

SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. CC 202 5-043, A RESOLUTION OF THE

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE RESTATING IN ITS

ENTIRETY THE CITY OF PALMDALE MASTER SCHEDULE OF

FEES AND PENALTIES AND REPEALING ALL PRIOR

ENACTMENTS INCONSISTENT WITH THIS RESOLUTION

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommend that the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. CC 2025-043, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Palmdale restating in its entirety the City of Palmdale Master Schedule of Fees and Penalties and repealing all prior enactments inconsistent with this Resolution.

BACKGROUND

The State Constitution authorizes cities to impose user and regulatory fees on services and activities . However, the fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service or performing the activity.

Periodically, the City Council ad opts Fee Resolutions, which 1) revise existing fees, rates, or charges; 2) establish new fees, rates, or charges; or 3) revise headings or descriptive language for existing fees for the City’s operating departments. Fee adjustments are necessary to keep pace with inflation and recover costs.

DISCUSSION

To better achieve the City’s policy regarding cost recovery goals and to minimize General Fund subsidies for services provided, staff proposes adjustments to the Fee Schedule as outlined in the attached City of Palmdale Master Schedule of Fees and Penalties.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the Consumer Price Index (CPI) monthly, which measures changes in consumer goods prices over a 12 -month period. From April 2024 to April 2025, the CPI f or the Greater Los Angeles area increased by 3.0%. In alignment with this increase, the proposed fee schedule includes a 3.0% adjustment to most City-imposed fees. Applying the CPI adjustment allows the City to more effectively keep pace with rising operat ional costs and avoid larger, less predictable fee increases in future years. In addition to the standard CPI adjustment, certain fees are proposed to increase beyond 3.0% to reflect the actual cost of providing specific services.

Any action by the City to levy a new fee or service charge or to approve an increase in an existing fee or service must be approved by ordinance or resolution. Before any new fee or service charge can be added to the City of Palmdale Master Schedule of Fees, a public hearing must be held, and reasonable notice must be provided to the community members.

As such, Staff recommend that the City Council adopt Resolution No. CC 2025-043 and repeal all prior enactments inconsistent with it, authorizing the proposed adjustments to the City of Palmdale Master Schedule of Fees and Penalties, effective July 1, 2025.

A Public Hearing Notice was published in the Antelope Valley Press on June 2, 2025, June 9, 2025, and June 16, 2025. At that time, the public was invited to make oral and written presentations as part of the regularly scheduled meeting. Additionally, written notice has been provided to interested parties who filed written requests for mailed notice of the meeting on new or increased development-related fees or service charges at least 14 days before the public meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT

Resolution No. CC 2025-043, if adopted, would allow for certain adjustments to fees and the implementation of policies, resulting in increased revenues that offset the cost of providing services.

STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal II: Ensure long-term fiscal health of the City and maintain funding for services.

A. Manage resources, costs, and liabilities to ensure the City’s long-term fiscal health.

The following fees shall include all wiring and electrical equipment in or on each building, or other electrical equipment on the same premises constructed at the same time.

Plans shall reflect laws and ordinances in effect at the time a permit is issued except as provided herein below in this section. Nothing in this section shall prohibit modifying the permit set of plans to reflect changes in laws and ordinances, which have become effective since the approval of the standard plan. The standard plans shall become null and void where the work required by such changes exceeds ten percent of the value of the building or structure. When it is desired to use an approved “standard plan” for an identical structure, two plot plans and one duplicate plan shall be submitted and a plan checking fee equal to 70 percent of the full plan checking fee required above shall be paid at the time application is made for such identical structure. Such duplicate plans shall be compared, stamped and kept on the project site. In case of deviation from this standard plan, except as permitted in this section, complete plans, together with a full plan-checking fee, shall be submitted for the proposed work.

Standard plans shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of approval. The standard plan can be extended by the Building Official an additional year upon payment of an extension fee equal to 30% of the original fee providing the standard plans are being restandardized under the same year codes as the original standard plan approval.
