A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

WHEREAS, this action is exempt under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), Article 18, Statutory Exemptions, Section 15273(a)
Rates Tolls Fares and Charges; and
WHEREAS, this hearing to set fees was duly noticed pursuant to
Government Code Sections 6062(a) – Manner of Publication, and 66016,

City’s Short-Term Vacation Rental Pemit fees; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires that annually the fees be
increased based on the all-urban consumers Consumer Price Index (CPI) for
Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario region; and
WHEREAS, the City would like to clarify refund policies for Building
and Public Works fees; and
WHEREAS, the City would like to identify discrete fee categories for
Fire fees to minimize the use of hourly billing category for miscellaneous
services provided, as well as refine service time estimates and corresponding
fees for certain services to enhance correlation and align fees to the current
costs of service; and
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
