The city council finds as follows:
A. The fee and service charge revenue cost comparison system set forth in this chapter provides a mechanism for ensuring that fees adopted by the city for services rendered do not exceed the reasonable estimated cost for providing the services for which the fees are charged.
B. The adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.), because it approves and sets forth a procedure for determining fees for the purpose of meeting the operating expenses of city departments, as set forth in Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8)(1).
C. Pursuant to Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, it is the intent of the city council to require the ascertainment and recovery of costs reasonably borne from fees and charges levied therefor in providing the regulation, products or services hereinafter enumerated in this chapter. (Ord. 100 § 1, 1992)
The city manager is delegated the authority and directed to review and make recommendation to the city council for the adjustment of fees and charges to recover the percentage of costs reasonably borne in providing the regulation, products or services enumerated in this chapter in the percentage of costs reasonably borne and on the schedule of fee and service charge rate review and revision as hereinafter established in this chapter.
“Costs reasonably borne” shall be as defined in Section 2.28.030. In making his recommendations for the adjustment of fees and charges, the city manager shall consider only the standards and criteria established by this chapter. (Ord. 100 § 2, 1992)
