Subject: Consideration of a Resolution amending the Master Fee Schedule for departmental services rendered by the County
Executive Summary:
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.
The attached Resolution and exhibit reflect staff’s recommendation to amend fees related to Behavioral Health, the Building Safety Division, Code Enforcement, County Counsel, Environmental Health, Information Technology, the Library, Planning Division and Support Services, Public Services, Department of Public Works, Registrar of Voters/Elections Department, Sheriff/Coroner, and Water Resources.
Staff is recommending this annual update to the Master Fee Schedule to reflect the actual costs associated with providing the specified services. All fees set forth in this Master Fee Schedule adjustment shall become effective 07/01/2022 unless governed by Government Code 66017 in which case the fees will become effective 07/02/2022.
There will be some increases in revenue that will offset the cost of doing business for the County departments.
