CC - 2021-30 - Adopting a comprehensive schedule of fees and charges for Fiscal Year 2021-22RESOLUTION NO. 2021-30
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING
A COMPREHENSIVE SCHEDULE OF FEES AND
CHARGES FOR FY 2021-22
WHEREAS, the Municipal Code of the City of Rosemead provides that certain filing
fees, permit fees, inspection fees, deposits, and conditions of service may from time to time
be established by the City Council, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Rosemead has determined that the cost
of providing certain services is not of general benefit but of benefit to the individual and,
therefore, certain filing fees, permit fees, inspection fees and deposits should be required to pay
for materials and special services performed by the City staff, and
WHEREAS, for certain services performed, the cost of providing said services greatly
varies and is contingent upon the specifics of each project or application. In certain instances,
the City Council finds it more appropriate to require an initial deposit to guarantee the
applicant will reimburse the City for costs associated. If the costs exceed the deposit, the
applicant shall be responsible for additional deposits or reimbursement necessary to offset
cost. If cost of service performed is less than deposit, then the difference shall be refunded to
applicant, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has found it necessary to adjust fees for services, and
to maintain a comprehensive document which incorporates fees for services provided by the
City into one schedule, however, the City Manager has the authority to establish staff billing
rates and equipment charges by Administrative Policy on an as needed basis, and
WHEREAS, after complying with public meeting and agenda posting requirements;
the City Council adopted the various resolutions establishing fees at various meetings.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rosemead has resolved as follows:
SECTION 1. That the general regulations and project deposit guidelines are
established as follows:
A. TIME AND MATERIALS DEPOSITS — Certain types of applications have been
determined by the City Council to benefit the applicant. Therefore, these deposit projects will
be billed on a time and materials basis including applicable administrative overhead.
Project costs include City Attorney, City Staff, City Engineer, City Landscape Consultant and
other fees including overhead costs for staff and contract personnel. All deposited fees shall
be due and payable immediately upon presentation of a billing statement by the City. All
deposited fees not used to process and manage the application shall be returned after receipt
and payment of final project -related bills. Staff billing rates and equipment charges are based
on actual rates and established periodically by Administrative Policy of the City Manager.
B. BILLING — Failure to pay all charges invoiced within thirty (30) days of the date of
invoice shall be considered a sufficient cause to stop processing until full payment is made.
The City will accept only cash, cashier's checks, bank checks, ACH transfers, or credit/debit
cards; payment by credit/debt card may not exceed $5,000 (five thousand). Work on a deposit
project will not commence until payments have cleared the bank and funds have been
transferred to the City. Projects shall not be deemed approved until all City fees have been
paid in full.
C. LATE PAYMENT CHARGE — Outstanding balances that are not paid in full within
the time frame specified will incur late charges established by the City according to the type
of application.
D. REVISIONS — Fees set forth for plan check and development review shall be for the
initial application. See attached fee listing for additional costs for revisions.
E. RECORDS —Records of deposit projects are available by contacting the City. Project
deposit updates or closing out of projects shall be accompanied by project summary sheets,
detailing costs of staff time, City Attorney, City Engineer, City Landscape Consultant, and
other consultation charges.
F. HARDSHIPS — Fees shall - be paid in full for all development projects. The City
recognizes that in unique and special circumstances financial hardship may preclude the full
payment of a fee prior to application for permits. In such cases, the applicant shall apply for a
payment deferral agreement with the City Manager.
In no case shall the fees be waived or partially paid when the project is completed. The
applicant shall state in writing the reasons for deferral. The City Manager shall inform the
Community Development Director and Finance Director in writing of the fee deferral and
reasons for the deferral. In no case shall the City Manager permit less than half of the fee to
be initially paid.
G. OTHER FEES AND CHARGES FOR SERVICE — Applicants should be aware that
they may be subject to other fees and charges for service established periodically by Resolution
o r Ordinance.
H. EXEMPTION OF FEES — Where it is verified by the City Manager or appropriate
department director that the City is the applicant or party to be charged, fees will be waived.
Additionally, where a contractor has been hired on behalf of the City, fees may be waived at the
discretion of the City Manager.
SECTION 2. The fees shown in the Comprehensive Fee Schedule as Exhibit 1, are
approved and adopted for 2021-22 effective July 1, 2021.
