Page 2 of 3
WHEREAS, the City commissioned ClearSource Financial Consulting to
conduct the analysis to determine the user and regulatory fee update, which
is included in the staff report and available for public review; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that the supporting
documents provide adequate evidence to conclude that the fees added to
the Master Fee Schedule or modified by an amount other than the increase
in the CPI are set at amounts that do not exceed the estimated cost to
provide the service.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of La Quinta, California, as follows:
SECTION 1. Each WHEREAS paragraph, set forth above, is hereby adopted
as a specific finding of this City Council.
SECTION 2. Resolution Nos. 2002-021, 2017-041, and 2017-059 are hereby
superseded and revised fees as shown in the Master Fee Schedule “Exhibit
A” are hereby adopted.
SECTION 3. This Master Fee Schedule reflects the April 2017 to April 2018
increase in the all-urban consumers CPI for the West Area with Population
Under 2.5 Million of 2.6% and other refinements intended to enhance fee
schedule clarity or improve the correlation between the cost of providing
services and the fees imposed to recover those costs.
SECTION 4. Annually on July 1 the City Manager or his/her designee shall
update and promulgate a new fee schedule whereby all fees are increased
based on the all-urban consumers CPI for Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario
computed from April of the previous year to April of the current year. If the
CPI does not change or goes down in a given year, no change shall be made
to the Master Fee Schedule that year.
SECTION 5. This Resolution shall become effective on August 7, 2018. The
fees imposed by this Resolution shall go into effect 60 days following the
effective date of this Resolution (October 6, 2018).
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the La
Quinta City Council held on this 7th day of August, 2018, by the following
vote:
