SUBJECT:
Recommendation to Adopt Resolution Setting various
General services Fees
INTRODUCTION
On February 2, 1988, the City Council approved increases in
various user fees currently charged by the City, including fees
charged by the General Services Department. In addition, on
April 26, 1988, the City Council adopted Ordinance Number 1438
(CCS) amending section 7163 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code
authorizing the City council to establish fees for field
inspection and plan check performed by the General services
Department by resolution. The attached resolution establishes
the new fees for these functions as well as several other
functions as approved by the city council.
DISCUSSION
In November of 1986, the City contracted with David M. Griffith
and Associates (DMG) to conduct a comprehensive review of all
city user fees in order to determine the extent to which fees

currently charged by the City for a service pay for the
)
e
e
of providing that service. Based on results of that study, DMG
recommended several increases in the fees currently charged by
the General services Department as well as the establishment of
several new fees in order to fully cover the costs the Department
incurs in providing services to members of the pUblic. On
February 2, 1988, the city council approved the recommended fee
increases and the establishment of several new fees. Attachment
I outlines those fee increases approved by council.
A resolution formally establishing the new fee levels must now be
adopted by the city Council prior to implementation of the
approved fee structure.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT
As a result of the increases in General Services fees approved by
the city Council, approximately $13,714 in additional General
Fund revenue will be generated in the final quarter of FY87/88
and $137,138 in additional General Fund revenue will be generated
on an annual basis. Adjustments to FY87j8S revenue accounts to
reflect these fee increases were made as a part of the mid-year
budget document approved by the city council on February 16,
1988.
RECOMMENDATION
city staff recommends that the city council adopt the attached
resolution establishing the new General Services fees approved by
the City Council on February 2, 1988.

RESOLUTION NO. 7619(CCS)

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SANTA MONICA SETTING GENERAL SERVICES
DEPARTMENT FEES
WHEREAS, the city of Santa Monica recently completed a
comprehensive analysis of all user fees charged by the General

full costs incurred in the provision of related services and the
value of city land: and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the City of Santa Monica to
charge for the full costs of services provided by City staff when
such services benefit individual users rather than members of the
community as a whole, as well as for the full value of City land
encroached upon either temporarily or permanently; and
WHEREAS, Municipal Code section 7163 authorizes the setting
of plan check and field inspection fees by resolution; and
WHEREAS, Municipal Code section 7151 authorizes the setting
of fees for the use of public property by resolution,
