Resolution 14869CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 14869
AMENDING MASTER FEE RESOLUTION NO. 12191 TO REVISE THE FEE
SCHEDULES FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (PLANNING AND
BUILDING), PUBLIC WORKS, AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS
WHEREAS, the Alameda Municipal Code and the California Government Code
provide that the City Council shall set fees reasonable to recover the cost of providing
various services by resolution; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, at the August 27, 1991 Special Council meeting,
directed City staff to amend the Alameda Municipal Code to reflect that City fees shall
be set by City Council Resolution; and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 12191 (“Master Fee Resolution”) as amended,
codifies existing fees for various City services and permits; and
WHEREAS, State law authorizes local governments to charge fees for services
based on the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is
charged; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Building Divisions of the Community Development
Department are budgeted out of a special revenue fund where all expenditures are
covered 100% by development related fees; and
WHEREAS, Permit applications and fees fluctuate year to year based on market
conditions; and
WHEREAS, with the recent slow economy the Planning and Building Divisions
expenses exceeded revenue by an average of $230,000 per year over the last three
years, thereby reducing the previously established reserve by nearly $700,000; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Building Divisions of the Community Development
Department have a need to maintain a core staffing level in order to service approved
permits and entitlements and be ready to respond to the possibility of a sudden increase
in workload due to earthquakes or other natural disasters, the reasonable fees for
Planning and Building activities include the establishment and maintenance of a 90 day
core staffing level fund.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Alameda that fees for various City services and permits are set forth in the attached
Exhibit “A”.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all fees established by Master Fee Resolution
12191 which are inconsistent with fees established by this Resolution are hereby
repealed.
