2) Adjust Fee - Utility funds legally require full cost recovery Water, Wastewater and Solid Waste fees are rates dictated by State laws, which does not allow the subsidy to one user, while overcharging another. Therefore, water wastewater and solid waste fees for services should be adopted at 100% cost recovery, allowing for no subsidy (or excess charge) to anyone.

4) Unchanged - Solid Waste container rates to be updated with rate study The following solid waste fees are related to container size and amount of waste disposal.

These utility rate studies are based on consumption (or disposal), rather than time of service provided.

RCS recommended various solid waste fees (for services provided) in the three categories above. RCS recommends no change to the solid waste container fees below.

WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 2-24.105 of the Santa Maria Municipal Code, cost and revenue data regarding the proposed new fees was made publicly available in the City Clerk's Office at least 10 days prior to the June 4, 2024, public hearing date; and
WHEREAS, after deliberation, the City recommends that the City Council adopt the fees as proposed in the Annual User Fee Update and Proposed User Fee Schedule (Attachment A and Attachment B of the Council Agenda Report and incorporated herein by reference); and

1. The City Council finds and determines that Citywide user -specific services described in the Annual User Fee Update and User Fee Schedule 2024, and incorporated herein by reference, are provided for the benefit of specific individual groups and not for the benefit of the general public and taxpayers; and therefore, said services should be

paid by the user in an amount sufficient to adequately cover the cost to the City; and

2. The City Council hereby establishes the fees for these services as set forth in the Annual User Fee Update and User Fee Schedule 2024, and is incorporated herein by reference, and directs the Department of Finance to update the fee schedule to reflect these fees effective July 1, 2024; and

3. The City Council hereby adopts the updated fees, and shown in Exhibit A, incorporated herein by reference, and directs the City Manager, or designee, to coordinate with the Department of Finance to implement the fees effective July 1, 2024; and

4. The City Council hereby acknowledges, if not explicitly outlined in the Annual User Fee Update and User Fee Schedule 2024, fees including Building, Recreation and Parks, and most Library fees will be re- established with no change; and

5. The Chief Deputy City Clerk is hereby authorized to make minor changes herein to address clerical errors, so long as substantial conformance of the intent of this document is maintained.
