directed the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance amending Santa

In response to this direction, the accompanying

The accompanying ordinance amends Municipal Code Section
7504 by providing for fees for plans and specifications for
public works improvement projects, in lieu of a refundable
deposit currently being required. Prospective bidders requesting
copies of the plans and specifications will be charged a fee in
the amount of the actual cost of preparing the documents.
The accompanying ordinance also adds Section 7505 to the
Municipal Code to establish fees for center line tie and tract
map services.

such services will be established by resolution of the City
Council.
