CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: September 8, 2010 UNFINISHED BUSINESS
SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Parks and Recreation
SUMMARY
Periodically, the fee schedule is amended to incorporate the various changes that are
approved subsequent to the last amendment. It also provides an opportunity to modify,
add or delete fees that are a result of a program or policy change by the department.
The fees were last amended in July 2008.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, INCREASING THE SWIM
CENTER FEES AND AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE
ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION NO. 21578."
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City has a Comprehensive Fee Schedule, which regulates what fee can be charged
for various City services and facilities. The Parks and Recreation Department has fees
regulated by the Comprehensive Fee Schedule.
To generate revenue to partially cover the ever-increasing cost of doing business, it is
recommended that the Comprehensive Fee Schedule be amended. Swim Center fees
were last increased in July 2008. Attached is a Departmental Fee Request and
Justification form developed by the City Clerk's office which lists existing fees and
proposed fees. The new fees, if approved, will be effective on the first day of the next
month following adoption by the City Council.
