CITY OF YUCAIPA
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Megan Wolfe, Director of Community Services
FOR: City Council Meeting of June 24, 2024
SUBJECT: Community Services User Fees
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council conduct a Public Hearing and subsequently approve Resolution No. 2024-45, rescinding Resolution No. 2022-23, and adopting an update to the Community Services User Fee Schedule and amending fees and charges for services rendered in relation to Community Services and making related determinations pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Community Services Department (CSD) is committed to offering quality programs and services at competitive rates, while simultaneously meeting the needs of the community and maximizing participation.
On June 27, 2022, City Council conducted a public hearing and adopted Resolution No. 2022-23, pertaining to various Community Services User Fees (CSUF). Since then, CPI has increased by approximately 15 percent, and as a result staff is recommending an increase in CSUF.
A public hearing is required for revisions to the CSUF. The public hearing notices were published in the Yucaipa News Mirror on June 14, 2024, and June 21, 2024. Additionally, it was made available for public review at the City Clerk's Department public counter on June 14, 2024.
The CSUF will be included in the City-wide Comprehensive User Fee Study to be completed later this year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is anticipated that the implementation of Resolution No. 2024-45, will allow the CSD to continue to recover costs.

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-45
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YUCAIPA, CALIFORNIA, RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 2022-23 AND
ADOPTING AN UPDATE TO THE COMMUNITY SERVICES USER FEE
SCHEDULE AND AMENDING FEES AND CHARGES FOR SERVICES
RENDERED IN RELATION TO COMMUNITY SERVICES (TAXPAYER
PROTECTION AND GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY ACT)
WHEREAS, the City of Yucaipa has conducted an analysis of services provided by the Community Services Department, the costs reasonably incurred in providing those services, the beneficiaries of these services, and the revenues produced by those paying fees and charges for special services; and
WHEREAS, certain current fees charged for services provided by the City do not fully recover the actual costs of providing such services; and WHEREAS, due to the consumer price index increase of approximately 15% since 2022 and the minimum wage increase in the subsequent years, actual costs of certain services have risen; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on June 24, 2024, concerning the increase in Community Services User Fees; and
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YUCAIPA HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1.
Section 2.
Section 3.
The Community Services User Fee Schedule for various Community Services programs provided by the City is hereby amended to account for CPI.
Adoption of Fees and Charges. The City Council hereby adopts the City of Yucaipa Community Services User Fee Schedule ("CSUF") as set forth in attached Exhibit "A" and incorporated by this reference. Unless otherwise stated in the CSUF, all CSUF shall be paid to the City by the customer prior to the City's performance of the requested Services.
Repeal of Conflicting Resolutions. It is the desire of the City Council that all fees and charges for services, programs or products be set forth in one document for ease of reference. Accordingly, any and all provisions of prior Resolutions of the City Council establishing or modifying fees for the services, programs or products set forth in Exhibit "A," are hereby repealed and replaced as of the effective dates as set forth in Section 7 of this Resolution in the manner set forth in Exhibit "A;" provided, however, that such repeal shall not excuse or affect the failure of any person or entity to pay any fee heretofore imposed upon such person or entity. The City Council desires to clarify that in adopting this Resolution, it is acting only on those fees for the services, programs or products set forth in Exhibit A which have been modified from prior resolutions of the City Council. The remaining fees that have not been modified from prior resolutions shall remain in full force and effect
and are hereby restated for convenience so that all fees are set forth in one document.
Section 4. Policies and Procedures. Staff is hereby authorized and directed to establish policies and procedures for implementation and collection of CSUF.
Section 5. CEQA. The approval of the User Fees established in this Resolution does not constitute a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) because such actions involve the creation of a government funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. Furthermore, the approval of the User Fees established in this Resolution is statutorily exempt from CEQA under CEQA guidelines Section 15273 (a)(1) because the approval of the User Fees is merely establishing fees to meet operating expenses.
Section 6. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Resolution or any part hereof is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Resolution or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 7.
Section 8.
Effective Date. The CSUF shall be effective on July 1, 2024. Aquatic and summer camp programs will go into effect once the 2024 season is complete.
Certification. The Mayor shall sign this Resolution and the City Clerk shall attest and certify to the passage and adoption thereof.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 24th day of June, 2024.
