Description/Analysis
Issue Detail:

FY2025/26 Fees and Charges Process: On February 7, 2006 (Resolution 2006-106), the City Council (Council) formally adopted a citywide Fees and Charges Policy to ensure that City fees and charges reflect Council’s direction regarding recovery of costs related to providing programs and services. The policy was amended on May 8, 2014, to modify language stating the City will use the State of California Department of Industrial Relations Consumer Price Index (CPI), the same index used by the County Assessor to adjust the annual property tax roll for inflation (Attachment 2). The policy identifies five major categories of fees the City currently implements: impact/development fees, service fees, regulatory fees, rental fees, and penalties/fines. The policy sets the guidelines for cost recovery goals, determines the categories of cost recovery levels, and allows for establishment and modification of fees and charges. Periodically, fees and charges need to be changed to reflect

File ID: 2025-00682 5/20/2025 Item 17.
increases in costs or new/changing circumstances.

The FY2025/26 Proposed Budget was released on April 30, 2025, and includes the changes recommended in this report. Changes to City fees and charges requiring Council approval are included in Exhibit A. The following chart summarizes the number of proposed fee changes by fund and Department, and the revenue adjustments included in Department revenue budgets:

The following provides details on the major changes reflected in the chart above:
· The City Attorney updated its current blended fees to reflect actual attorney and staff costs. As a result, the rates for hourly services on the fee and charges schedule have been changed to capture the increase of the cost of the service provided. While four fees are being adjusted, this scope of work hasn’t occurred in the previous two fiscal years. · The Community Development Department (CDD) is recommending adjustments to maintain service levels within the Department. The fees and charges proposals include revenue increases from the following fees: a new Code Technology Fee ($400,000), the existing General Plan Maintenance Fee ($100,000), and existing Plan Review and Inspection Fees ($400,000). The proposed fees better reflect staff time and costs. · The Convention & Cultural Services Department (CCS) is proposing fee adjustments to stay in

File ID: 2025-00682 5/20/2025 Item 17.
line with industry standards and to ensure CCS are still able to maintain and attract clients to hold their events at city facilities.
· The Finance Department is proposing fee adjustments to ensure full cost recovery for the services provided. These proposed adjustments are necessary for the Department to stay in line with the industry standards for all associated fees. · The Public Works Department is recommending modifications to better reflect current market conditions and provide true cost recovery for services provided. o Overall, deposits and fees have remained the same from last fiscal year for Public Works private development projects. Private development fees and deposits are calculated for full cost recovery and were recalculated and adjusted last year and are still sufficient to cover current costs, with the exception of the inspection fee deposit calculator. It has been modified to better reflect the cost of inspection services provided by the City during the construction phase.
o Parking citation fees for various on-street violations have been updated to deter activities that would result in safety hazards on City streets and to better align citation rates with neighboring jurisdictions as allowed in the Sacramento City Code (Sections

10.36-10.56, 12.44) and the California Vehicle Code (21211-22521). Additionally, a parking violation fee of $25 will be established for vehicles parked 15 or 20 feet from a crosswalk per California Vehicle Code 22500(n)(1)(A).
o Rate adjustments for the city-owned parking garages are being made to better manage use of parking spaces and to be consistent with market rates in the region. Monthly parking rates at City-owned parking garages have been raised to align with private parking garages and parking garages in neighboring jurisdictions. The EV discount for monthly parkers is being discontinued as this legacy program is no longer necessary to promote EV adoption. Hourly, prepay event rates, and commuter rates have been increased to improve the turnover of parking inventory and maintain competitive market rates. The merchant validation coupon fee will increase from $0.50 to $1.00 per validation to recover issuance costs. The validation value will also increase from $5 to $8 per validation for 2 hours of parking for merchant customers per the new FY26 proposed hourly rate increase.
o The Del Rio Trail Parking Lot, located at the corner of Riverside Blvd. and San Mateo Way, is a newly built municipal surface parking lot that has 17 general parking spaces and two accessible parking spaces. A pay-by-phone-only parking fee of $3 for three hours of parking will be added for FY26.

File ID: 2025-00682 5/20/2025 Item 17.
o Combine the Discounted Employee Parking Program (DEPP) and Discounted Part- Time Employee Parking Program (P-TEP), which are designed to give employees of the downtown area an affordable alternative to the current market parking rates. This combined program also has expanded the eligibility requirements to allow more employees to qualify for the program.
o A fee structure for Residential Permit Parking has been proposed to recover costs to administer the program and to manage parking demands between residents, visitors and merchants. The renewal period will adjust to an annual basis and the fee structure will include low-income rates. Delivery and Emergency Parking Permits will increase from $70 to $100 per year to recover issuance costs of special use permits.

Supplemental Parking Permits are being added to the Fee and Charge schedule as approved by Res. 2024-0057.
o On-street parking fees with carshare companies are also being updated per the City’s contracts to reflect the average revenue collected per meter for the prior fiscal year. o Rates for on-street parking meters are being adjusted by $1.00/hour for Tier 1, $1.00/hour for Tier 2 and $1.50/hour for Tier 3. Tier 1 is the base hourly rate for a designated number of hours posted with on-location signage. This is intended to promote turnover in on-street parking spaces, so more spaces are available for customers and guests for shorter-term parking and to direct longer-term parking to off- street facilities. Special Event Parking Meter Rates will adjust to a rate of 25% above the special event flat rate charged at city-owned garages. The Long-Term Metered Space rates will increase to a range of $3 to $10 to reflect current market conditions and encourage turnover of parking inventory.
o Marina berth rates increased by 5% effective 1/1/25 due to increased operating expenses. The Director of PW, or designee, is authorized to adjust berth rates from time to time within a range and the increase remains within approved ranges. The waitlist and electronic key fees will be increased to recover increasing operating costs, and new fees will be added to recover the cost of removing water from a private vessel and for responding to a spill from a private vessel in the event that the owner of the vessel doesn’t respond.
o Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) disposal fees have been updated based on actual costs of disposal during the previous fiscal year. Two HHW disposal fees are being deleted and three HHW disposal fees are being added to reflect differing disposal costs for lab packed flammable liquids, lab packed flammable

File ID: 2025-00682 5/20/2025 Item 17.
solids, and lab packed flammable solids.
· The Department of Utilities is proposing to add one fee to achieve full cost recovery based on the cost of administration and materials for utility billing inserts. · The Youth, Parks, & Community Enrichment Department is making modifications and including additional fees in relation to budget change proposals submitted as part of the reduction plan.

Modifications reflect either information related to approved proposals or changes to current fees. Modifications also include changes in current ranges of fees, to allow for flexibility moving forward.

The proposed changes will accommodate new features and programs. YPCE also made modifications to current fee structures to better align with industry standards and the proposed fee structure will allow the flexibility needed to operate all programs without limitations this upcoming fiscal year.

Except for the CDD fees, the proposed fee and charge changes will take effect on July 1, 2025. The CDD fees will not go into effect until July 20, 2025, as these fees require a 60-day notice after adoption, prior to implementation.

Council Rules of Procedure: According to Section 15.B.3 of the Council Rules of Procedure, the Budget and Audit Committee shall receive and review any key budget policy issues, which include fee increases prior to bringing forward to Council. Due to the budget hearing schedule, the proposed fees and charges will not be heard by the Budget and Audit Committee. Staff recommends passing motion to waive Section 15.B.3 of the Council Rules of Procedure.

Citywide Fee Study: The City began a Citywide Fee Study in parallel to the annual Fees and Charges process in April 2025. The City has contracted with a third-party consultant to conduct a comprehensive review over a two-year process examining current city fees and comparing them against jurisdictions of similar size and service models. The culmination of this study will result in city fee adjustments, additions, and deletions, which will correctly charge for services and enable cost recovery for departments.

Policy Considerations: The changes proposed are consistent with Council’s adopted Fees and Charges Policy and support the City's budget sustainability and fiscal responsibility goals.

Proposition 26 (Attachment 3) was passed by the voters on November 2, 2010, amending Article XIII C of the state constitution. According to the ballot measure, the intent of the measure is to ensure the effectiveness of Propositions 13 and 218 by providing a definition of a “tax” for state and local purposes “so that neither the Legislature nor local governments can circumvent these restrictions on increasing taxes by simply defining new or expanded taxes as “fees.” Thus, under Proposition 26 a tax has been defined broadly to include any levy, charge, or exaction of any kind imposed by a local

File ID: 2025-00682 5/20/2025 Item 17.
government, except for seven specified categories of charges. Moreover, the City bears the burden of proving that a fee or charge is not a tax. Toward this end, the report contains summary information, as appropriate, explaining why each proposed fee or fee increase is not a tax under Proposition 26.

Economic Impacts: Not applicable.

Environmental Considerations: California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):This report concerns administrative activities and government fiscal activities that do not constitute a “project” as defined by the CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378(b)(2) and 15378(b)(4) and are not subject to the provisions of CEQA (CEQA Guidelines 15060(c)(3)). CEQA review for any project which utilizes funds allocated in this report, has been or will be performed in conjunction with planning, design, and approval of each specific project as appropriate.

Sustainability: Not applicable.

Commission/Committee Action: Due to the budget hearing schedule, the proposed fees and charges will not be heard by the Budget and Audit Committee. Staff recommends passing motion to waive Section 15.B.3 of the Council Rules of Procedure.

Rationale for Recommendation: The annual review of citywide fees and charges ensures that the City’s recovery of costs for services keeps pace with changes in the cost-of-living index, as well as changes in methods or levels of service delivery. The public hearing on this item is currently scheduled for May 20, 2025.

A motion to waive Section 15.B.3 of the Council Rules of Procedure is required since the proposed fees and charges will not be heard by the Budget and Audit Committee.

Financial Considerations: The review and adjustment of citywide cost recovery through fees and charges is an appropriate mechanism to ensure the continued recovery of costs for specified programs and services. In this case, it is important to note that the proposed fees and charges in this report are necessary to sustain existing programs and do not provide substantial additional resources. The report recommends adding 33 new fees, 251 modifications to the fee basis or language and 50 deletions.

The recommended adjustments will generate approximately $6 million annually in General Fund revenue and $989,000 annually for all other funds. These revenues are included in the FY2025/26 Proposed Budget, and any change would result in an amendment to budgeted revenues.

Local Business Enterprise (LBE): None.

RESOLUTION NO. 2014-0111
Adopted by the Sacramento City Council
May 8, 2014

APPROVING CITYWIDE FEE AND CHARGE ADJUSTMENTS

BACKGROUND
A. On February 7, 2006, the City Council adopted the Citywide Fees and Charges policy (Resolution No. 2006-106).

B. The City has used the Employee Cost Index for State and Local Government Employees, Total Compensation as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for inflationary adjustments. Beginning in FY2014/15 the City will use the State of California Department of Industrial Relations Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is the same index used by the County Assessor to adjust the annual property tax roll for inflation. This change will align adjustments for inflation affecting the City’s largest revenue source, property taxes, with the fees that are also indexed against inflation.

C. Implementation of the policy requires a necessary mechanism to ensure that the City’s fees and charges reflect the City's current costs and that those fees and charges are reviewed on an annual basis by City Council. Staff has conducted the required annual review and recommends certain new fees and fee adjustments.

D. Proposed new fees, deleted fees, and fee adjustments are set forth in Exhibit A.

BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The fee and charge policy is approved as amended in Exhibit A.

Section 2. The fee and charge adjustments as set forth in Exhibit B are hereby approved.

Section 3. Exhibits A and B are part of this resolution.

CITY OF SACRAMENTO FEES AND CHARGES POLICY
The City of Sacramento has the ability to determine the extent to which fees should be used to fund City facilities, infrastructure and services.

There are five main categories of fees that the City currently implements1:
99Impact/development fees are typically one-time charges levied by the City against new development to generate revenue for the construction of infrastructure and capital facilities needed to offset the effects of the new development.
9Service fees are charges imposed on persons or property that are designed to offset the cost of providing a government service. Sometimes these services are elective, such as fees for processing voluntary development permit applications, or providing service/recreation programs, while other service fees are not, such as mandatory service fees for trash or utility services. Such fees are typically reasonably related to the cost of providing the service for which the fee is imposed. Otherwise, the fee may constitute a special tax for which voter approval is required by Propositions 13, 62, and 218.
9Regulatory fees are imposed to offset the cost of a regulatory program, such as business regulatory fees, or to mitigate the past, present or future adverse impact of a fee payer’s operations. While payment of a regulatory fee does not necessarily provide any direct benefit from payment of the fee, there must be a "nexus" between the activity and the adverse consequences addressed by the fee. Common examples of regulatory fees include inspection fees and business license fees designed to reimburse a local agency for the cost of monitoring the business and enforcing compliance with City code.
9Rental fees are charged for the rental of public property and include the rental of real property, parking spaces in a public parking lot, or the rental of community facilities such as a recreation or community room or picnic area. Rental fees are not subject to the general rule that the fee must bear a direct relationship to the reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged however, rental fees must be fair and reasonable.
9Penalties/Fines are payment required for non-compliance or failure to adhere to specific rules and/or requirements.

This document sets forth guidelines for:
x Establishing cost recovery goals;
x Determining the categories of cost recovery levels in which to categorize/organize fees;

Resolution 2014-0111 Ma y 8, 2014 Pa ge 3 of 14
x Methods for determining which category a fee falls under; and x Establishment and modification of fees and charges.

A. Cost Recovery Goals
In setting user fees and cost recovery levels, the following factors will be considered2:
1) The amount of a fee should not exceed the overall cost of providing the facility, infrastructure or service for which the fee is imposed. In calculating that cost, direct and indirect costs may be included. That is:
xx Costs which are directly related to the provision of the service; and, x Support costs which are more general in nature but provide support for the provision of the service. For example, service fees can include reimbursement for the administrative costs of providing the service.

Development fees can include the cost of administering the program to construct public facilities that are necessary to serve new development.
2) The method of assessing and collecting fees should be as simple as possible in order to reduce the administrative cost of collection. 3) Fees should be sensitive to the “market” for similar services.

In addition, in setting enterprise fund fees and cost recovery levels, the following factors will be considered:
4) The City will set fees and rates at levels which fully cover the total direct and indirect costs, including operations, capital outlay and debt service of the enterprise programs.
5) The City will review and adjust enterprise fees and rate structures as required to ensure that they remain appropriate and equitable.

B. Categories of Cost Recovery Levels in Which to Categorize/Organize Fees There are five categories of cost recovery levels in which to classify fees:

1. Enterprise: Full direct and indirect cost recovery (100% of total costs) for enterprise services such as water, sewer and solid waste, as well as impact/development fees.

2. High: Full direct cost recovery (81-100% of total costs).

3. Medium: Recovery between 41-80% of direct costs.

4. Low: Recovery between 0-40% of direct costs.
2 Government Finance Officers Association Website, Best Practices in Public Budgeting, City of San Luis Obispo: User Fee Cost Recovery Goals, 2005.

Resolution 2014-0111 May 8, 2014 Page 4 of 14

5. Other: Fees based on market, geography, assessment, project specific, legal limits or specific Council policy.

The City may choose, for policy reasons, to set fees at less than full recovery.

For example, fees based on market, geography, assessment, project specific, statutory/legal limits or specific Council policy. In some cases, the City will acknowledge that a subsidy is acceptable, or even necessary to ensure program access and viability.

C. Methods for Determining Which Category a Fee Falls Under Implementation of higher cost recovery levels is appropriate under the following conditions (up to 100% of the cost of the service or program):
x The service is regulatory in nature (e.g. building permits, plan check fees); x The service is similar to services provided through the private sector; x Other private or public sector alternatives could or do exist for the delivery of the service;
x Over-use of the service is specifically discouraged (e.g. police responses to disturbances or false alarms might fall into this category). x Over-use of the service or facility is a specialized use that could be provided at a lower cost if not for specific nature or service (e.g. lighted fields).

Lower cost recovery levels are appropriate under the following conditions:
x There is no intended relationship between the amount paid and the benefit received. (It is likely that some recreation and human service programs fall into this category as it is expected that these programs will be subsidized by funds);
x Collecting fees is not cost-effective or will significantly effects the accessibility to the service;
x The service is non-recurring, generally delivered on a peak demand or emergency basis, cannot be planned for and is not readily available from a private sector source (e.g. public safety services);
x Collecting fees would discourage compliance with regulatory requirements and adherence is primarily self-identified, and as such, failure to comply would not be readily detected by the City.

Other:
x Market pricing requires that there be a direct relationship between the amount paid and the level and cost of the service received or a direct relationship to actual prices being charged for the service in the current market. x Legal specifications and/or limitations to the amount that is charged. x Adopted Council Policy setting specific fee.

Resolution 2014-0111 Ma y 8, 2014 Pa ge 5 of 14
Factors to Consider
The extent to which the total cost of service should be recovered through fees depends upon the following factors:
99The nature of the facilities, infrastructure or services; 9 The nature and extent of the benefit to the fee payer; 9 The effect of pricing on the demand for services; and 9 The feasibility of collection and recovery.

The chart below reflects these factors and the potential options for higher or lower cost recovery3:

The Nature of the
Facilities,
Infrastructure or
Services
The Nature and
Extent of the Benefit
to The Fee Payers
Effect of Pricing on
the Demand for
Services
Feasibility of
Collection
and Recovery
Higher Cost Recovery
In the case of fees
for facilities,
infrastructure and
proprietary
services
4, total cost
recovery may be
warranted.

When a particular
facility or service
results in substantial,
immediate and direct
benefit to fee payers,
a higher percentage of
the cost of providing
the facility or service
should be recovered
by the fee.

Because the pricing
of services can
significantly affect
demand, full cost
recovery for services
is more appropriate
when the market for
the services is strong
and will support a
high level of cost
recovery.

In the case of
impact fees,
which can be
collected at
the time of
issuance of a
building
permit, ease
of collection is
generally not
a factor.

Lower Cost Recovery
In the case of
governmental
services5, it may be
appropriate for a
substantial portion
of the cost of such
services to be borne
by the City’s
taxpayers, rather
than the individual
users of such
services.

When a particular
facility or service
benefits not only the
fee payer but also a
substantial segment of
the community, lower
cost recovery is
warranted.

If high levels of cost
recovery affect
accessibility to or
negatively effect the
delivery of services to
lower income groups,
this should be
considered based on
the overall goals of
the program being
implemented.

Some fees
may prove to
be impractical
for the City to
utilize if they
are too costly
to administer.

D. Establishment and Modification of Fees and Charges

Resolution 2014-0111 Ma y 8, 2014 Pa ge 6 of 14
Fees will be reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis as part of the annual budget process to ensure that they keep pace with changes in the cost-of-living as well as changes in methods or levels of service delivery. At the beginning of the budget process each department will submit a list of proposed adjustments to their section of the master fee schedule. Each service must be assigned a target cost recovery level as defined above.

Maintaining competitive status and comparability with other cities should be considered when determining new fee levels. Those fees that are proposed for adjustment should be benchmarked against neighboring jurisdiction fee schedules or appropriate service markets. The benchmark analysis should be taken into consideration when making final pricing decisions.

However, the City may choose, for policy reasons, to set fees at less than full recovery. (for example, fees based on market, geography, assessment, project specific, statutory/legal limits or specific Council policy). As stated above, in some cases, the City will acknowledge that a subsidy is acceptable, or even necessary to ensure program access and viability. Where appropriate, fees that have not been increased in some time should have increases phased in over several years to avoid ‘sticker shock’ increases.

If a particular fee is not adjusted in the budget process, to the extent feasible and/or appropriate, it should be increased biennially by a CPI factor to keep pace with inflation.

Beginning in FY2014/15 the City will use the State of California Department of Industrial Relations Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is the same index used by the County Assessor to adjust the annual property tax roll for inflation.

Biennially, the Finance Department shall determine the percentage change in this index and apply the increase or decrease to the master fee schedule, rounding up to the nearest whole dollar. Certain fees are exempt from an index adjustment, such as fees set by the State of California, percentage-based fees or those that have been identified as inappropriate for indexed fee increases (e.g. feasibility or fees that are based on market for services). Exempt fees are noted in the master fee schedule.

Council may consider fee issues outside of the annual budget process on a case-by- case basis.

The City should conduct a comprehensive cost of service analysis every five to seven years to ensure fees and charges are set appropriately. Generally, fees may be adjusted based on supplemental analysis whenever there have been significant changes in the method, level or cost of service delivery. For example, changes in processes and technology change the staff time required to provide services to the public. A cost of service study will identify and quantify these changes.

Attachment 3
Proposition 26
Proposition 26, the “Stop Hidden Taxes Initiative ,” was passed by the voters on November 2, 2010, to amend Article XIII C of the S tate Constitution. According to the ballot measure, the intent of the measure is to ensure the effectiveness of Propositions 13 and 218 by providing a definition of a “tax” for state and local purposes “so that neither the Legislature nor local governments can circumvent these restrictions on increasing taxes by simply defining new or expanded taxes as ‘fees.” Accordingly, under Proposition 26 a tax has been very broadly defined.

Tax Defined:
“Tax” now means “any levy, charge, or exaction of any kind imposed by a local government, except for the following seven categories of charges:

Exception 1 – Benefit Conferred or Privilege Granted
A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable co sts to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege
Examples:
o Residential parking permit fees
o Professional licenses
o Business improvement assessments
Exception 2 – Government Service or Product
A charge imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product Examples:
o User fees for park and recreation programs
o Weed abatement fees
o Sidewalk curb repairs
Exception 3 – Licenses and Permits
A charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and permits, performing investigations, inspections and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof
Examples:
o Building inspections
o Cardroom license
o Business licenses

Exception 4 – Use of City property
A charge imposed for entrance to or use of local government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property

Examples:
o City-owned parking lots
o Swimming pools
o Convention Center rentals
o Golf green fees

Exception 5 – Fines and Penalties
A fine, penalty, or other monetary cha rge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government as a result of a violation of law

Examples:
o City Code fines and penalties (e.g., 1.28.020)
o Parking fines

Exception 6 – Property Development Charges
A charge imposed as a condition of property development

Examples:
o Development impact fees

Exception 7 – Proposition 218 Fees
Assessments and property related fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Proposition 218, Article XIII D

Examples:
o Utility fees for water, sewer, drainage, and solid waste o Street lighting assessments

Burden of Proof:

The paragraph following the seven enumerated exceptions states:
“The local government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence [1] that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, [2] that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the government activity, and [3] that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payor bear s a fair or reasonable relationship to the payor’s burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity.” The latter two requirements only apply to the first three exceptions.

Thus, with the burden of proof now shifted to the C ity, that requires each department to take into consideration how it aims to prove that a proposed fee or fee increase is not a tax. The following analytical framework can assist in this regard.

Burden of Proof: A 3-step Analysis

1. The City must make a threshold determination whe ther one of the exceptions applies.

o If none apply, it is a tax subject to voter approval.

2. If Exceptions 1, 2, or 3 apply, the City must also show that the fee revenue will not exceed the reasonable costs of providing the related governmental activity (at the aggregate level).

3. Finally, the City must show that the costs are fairly allocated to the individual payors.

Attachment 4
RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX
Adopted by the Sacramento City Council
May 20, 2025

APPROVING CITYWIDE FEE AND CHARGE ADJUSTMENTS

BACKGROUND:

A. On February 7, 2006, the City Council adopted the Citywide Fees and Charges policy (Resolution No. 2006-106).

B. On May 8, 2014, the City Council amended the Fee and Charge Policy (Resolution No 2014-111). As a result effective in FY2014/15 the City is using the State of California Department of Industrial Relations Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is the same index used by the Sacramento County Assessor to adjust the annual property tax roll for inflation. This aligns adjustments for inflation affecting the City’s largest revenue source, property taxes, with the fees that are also indexed against inflation.

C. Implementation of the policy provides the necessary mechanism to ensure that the City’s fees and charges reflect the City's current costs and that those fees and charges are reviewed on an annual basis by City Council.

Staff has conducted the required annual review and recommends certain new fees and fee adjustments.

D. Proposed new fees, deleted fees, and fee adjustments are set forth in Exhibit A.

BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The fee and charge adjustments as set forth in Exhibit A are hereby approved.

Section 2. Exhibit A is part of the resolution.

Electric Vehicle Rate (50% of Monthly

Delete $100 N/A
Beginning in 1994, the City has subsidized
parking rates for electric vehicles in its City
garages, currently offering a 50% discount.

As electric vehicles have become more
widespread and other incentive programs
are generally supporting EV purchases, it
does not appear that this subsidy is
necessary any longer to promote EV
adoption. The Parking Services Division
proposes to repeal the resolution that
offers a 50% discount for monthly parking
passes at the City-owned parking garages.

Beginning in 1994, the City has subsidized
parking rates for electric vehicles in its City
garages, currently offering a 50% discount.

As electric vehicles have become more
widespread and other incentive programs
are generally supporting EV purchases, it
does not appear that this subsidy is
necessary any longer to promote EV
adoption. The Parking Services Division
proposes to repeal the resolution that
offers a 50% discount for monthly parking
