WHEREAS, the City Council is authorized to approve updates to fees for services provided that the amount of each fee complies with one of the exceptions from the definition of “tax” set forth in Proposition 26 (California Constitution Article XIII C, Section 1(e)) (“Prop 26”); and,
WHEREAS, Prop 26 includes five exceptions from the definition of tax that are relevant to the City Council’s consideration of this Resolution, and each fee identified on the proposed update to the Schedule of Fees for Service falls within one or more of the following five exceptions under Prop 26:

3) The amount of the fee does not exceed the City’s costs of regulation (including licensing, permitting, investigating, inspecting, auditing, or enforcement); or 4) The amount of the fee does not exceed the value of City land authorized by the City for use by the payor; or
