Fee Schedule Adoption The following schedule of fees and charges, as shown in Table 1, Exhibits "A" through "J", are hereby directed to be computed by and applied by the various City departments, and to be collected by the City's Management Services Department for the herein listed special services when provided by the City or its designated contractors. Table 1, Exhibit "K" identifies the approved fees for animal control services, which are not collected by the City but rather by the County of Marin Animal Services Agency, which provides such services pursuant to an Agreement between the City and the County of Marin. The Assistant City Manager, or his designee, is directed to annually review all fees identified in Table 1 with a "#" marking based upon the San Francisco -Oakland -San Jose Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers (CPI -U) as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Fees identified with a "#" marking on Table 1 shall be increased based upon the percentage change in the August to August CPI -U index and will become effective on the December 1St following the publication of the August index. In no event shall any increase in fees exceed the percentage change in salaries of the City employees providing the WAManagement Services- WorkFile\Finance- WorkFile\Council Material\Resolutions\2003\City\Reso for Services & Fees 2003.doc Page 2 of 6 service for which the fees are being collected, as reflected in the provisions of the applicable employee Memorandum of Understanding for the period commencing on the previous July 1St. Only those fees that increase by a minimum of one dollar ($1.00), based upon the CPI -U change, will be adjusted. Fees marked with V", and subject to change, will be rounded down to the nearest whole dollar, and will include flat -based fees, deposits for service, and the calculation of fully burdened hourly rates for billable staff time. The CPI -U process shall only be used to increase fees for two successive one year periods following the adoption of this Resolution. After two such successive one year adjustments, the fees shall not be increased until the City has adopted a new comprehensive master fee schedule based upon a study predicated on 'costs reasonably borne' to provide said services. Section 2. Separate Fee for Each Service All fees set by this resolution are for each identified service; additional fees shall be required for each additional service that is requested or required. Where fees are indicated on a per unit of measurement basis, the fee is for each identified unit or portion thereof within the indicated ranges of such units. Definitions and implementation procedures regarding the fees set forth herein shall be as stipulated in Chapter 3.34 of the San Rafael Municipal Code.
