WHEREAS, the City now seeks to create and adopt permit fees to cover the cost
of operating a shared mobility device pilot program that will improve access to mobility
options for residents, employees, visitors to Santa Monica, create new and diverse
mobility options, ensure safety by reducing sidewalk and pathway impediments, facilitate
access for disabled individuals, educate users about the proper rules and etiquette, create
a legal and enforceable framework for managing shared mobility in the public right of way,
and build good working partnerships with shared mobility service providers; and
WHEREAS, the permit fees established by this resolution are not more than
necessary to recover the costs of the services provided.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA
DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Operator Fee for participation in the Shared Mobility Device Pilot
Program is $20,000 per year.
SECTION 2. In addition to the Operator Fee, each Operator shall pay a Per Device
Fee of $130 per year for each of its shared mobility devices.
SECTION 3. The Operator Fee and the Per Device Fee set forth in this resolution
shall be administratively revised and increased annually by a factor equal to the net
change in City salaries and benefits costs for that fiscal year. Such net change is
measured by comparing the total budgeted City salary and benefit costs for the fiscal year
in which the change is to become effective to the total budgeted City salary and benefit
costs for the prior fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the annual
administrative revision set forth be less than zero percent (0%).
