ADOPTING UPDATED CITY USER FEES FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES,
ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS, AND BUILDING DEPARTMENTS AND UPDATING THE
MASTER FEE SCHEDULE.
WHEREAS, cities throughout the State face limited resources, making it critical for them
to ensure that their fees for required or 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, on June 3, 2025, the City of National City ("City") adopted the City of National
City Master Fee Schedule via Resolution 2025-62; and
WHEREAS, the Master Fee Schedule includes a number of user fees, which are charges
for service provided by a governmental agency to the public for services that primarily benefit
individual users rather than the community at large; and
WHEREAS, subsequent to adoption of the Master Fee Schedule, further review of City
operations and services revealed the need to further update the user fees for the Neighborhood
Services, Engineering & Public Works, and Building departments, and to add to the schedule a
list of the fully -burdened hourly rates for individual positions; and
WHEREAS, the updated user fees include nine new fees, three increased fees, nine
decreased fees, and twenty removed or consolidated fees, as shown in Exhibit B to the Agenda
Report; and
WHEREAS, changes to City fees require a public hearing and, upon approval, do not
become effective for at least sixty (60) days; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was noticed for and held on January 20, 2026, in accordance
with State law; and
WHEREAS, upon approval, the updated user fees will become effective on March 23,
2026.

CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
