RESOLUTION NUMBER 10405 (CCS)
(City Council Series)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA REVISING THE FEE SCHEDULE FOR LIBRARY
FINES AND USE FEES
WHEREAS, the City Council may promulgate rules for the use of City libraries
pursuant to Section 1.08.030 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, during an analysis of neighboring library jurisdiction fees it was
determined that some Santa Monica Public Library fines had not been raised in fifteen
years, were much lower than the area average, library fines ensure-that library materials
are returned so that libraries can serve their primary purpose, and so the City desires to
revise some of the established fines and fees; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the City of Santa Monica to charge for the full costs
of services provided when such services benefit individual users rather than members
of the community as a whole and the City desires to revise user fees to recover-costs
associated with providing black and white photocopies and printouts, placing Interlibrary
loan requests and producing high resolution files on disk from the Image Archives, and;
WHEREAS, the Library Board which has charge of the administration of the
Santa Monica Public Library and shall make and enforce such by-laws, rules and
1
regulations as may be necessary for the administration, government and protection of
the City Library according to Ordinance 1010 has approved of these fines and user
fees.
