To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Carol J Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
Subject:
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The Master Fee Schedule established by your Board provides the public with a convenient and transparent single source document that reflects all County service fees. In adopting the initial Master Fee Schedule, your Board expressed intent that it be routinely updated, and established the authority and procedures to accomplish such updates. Consequently, in accordance with Article XXVIII in Chapter 2 of the County Code, a Resolution adopting updates to the Master Fee Schedule is presented for your consideration.
These items came to light after approval of the annual update to the Master Fee Schedule on May 25, 2021.
The attached Resolution and exhibit reflect staff’s recommendation to amend fees related to the Public Services Department, and Water Resources fees.
The Public Services Department is requesting CPI increases to its Tonnage Rate, which was inadvertently omitted in the May 25, 2021 Master Fee Schedule update.
The Water Resources Department is requesting CPI increases to its Water Resources Programs, Drainage Easements, and Lakebed Encroachment Leases, which were inadvertently omitted in the May 25, 2021 Master Fee Schedule update.
Staff is recommending these adjustments to the annual update of the Master Fee Schedule, which shall become effective 07/01/2021 unless governed by Government Code 66017 in which case the fees will become effective 07/26/2021.
