RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NATIONAL CITY AMENDING THE 2018 USER FEE
SCHEDULE FOR USER FEES WITHIN THE CITY
WHEREAS, cities throughout the State face limited financial resources
making it critical for cities to ensure their fees for requested services reflect the cost
recovery that is consistent with California law and do not exceed the estimated
reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged; and
WHEREAS, local governments charge fees for a variety of services
provided by departmental staff to recover the costs of providing services that primarily
benefit individual users that may include the totals of both direct and indirect costs of
providing services, but State law prohibits governments from charging users more than
the reasonable cost of providing each service ; and
WHEREAS, on March 21, 2017, the City entered into an Agreement with
Wildan Financial Services ("Wildan") to develop a cost allocation plan and perform a
comprehensive user fee study to develop an updated fee schedule that ensures
appropriate cost recovery for services directly benefitting individual users and consistent
with applicable laws; and
WHEREAS, the City's User Fee Schedule needs to be regularly reviewed
and updated to ensure cost recovery consistent with California law to consider future
changes to the fee schedule based on the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") or other
relevant data that may be available; and
WHEREAS, a Public Hearing to consider adjustments to City user fees
was held at a publicly noticed regularly scheduled City Council meeting on October 2,
2018, wherein the City Council considered oral and written presentations of City staff
and comments and testimony from members of the public thereafter resulting in the
passage and Adoption of Resolution 2018 — 173 which established user fees within the
City of National City; and
Whereas, after serval months of using the user fees, staff determined the need
to make minor adjustments and add a several new fees that were not originally captured in the
fee study; and
WHEREAS, the newly added fees were studied, reviewed and approved
by the Willdan Financial Services for the purpose of determining "full cost recovery" of
City staff time spent to review and process development permits.
