FROM: Gary Jeandron, Chief of Police
AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the amendment to the
Comprehensive Fee Schedule, increasing the fees for Concealed Weapons Permits
and related fees to cover the City's costs.
SUMMARY:
The State of California Department of Justice has increased fees associated with
fingerprinting and the processing of criminal records an average of 36%. The
amendment to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule would increase the fees charged
for the issuance and renewal of Concealed Weapon Permits and for the use of the
department's firearms range and training classes to reflect the increased cost of
providing these services. Currently there are two duplicate categories in the fee
schedule "Concealed Weapon Permit" and "Concealed Carry Weapon Permit". It is
recommended that the "Concealed Weapon Permit" category be deleted. The fees
would increase an average of 36%. The entire fee increases will go to the
Department of Justice for their increased costs.
BACKGROUND:
The State of California Department of Justice has recently increased the fees
charged for fingerprinting and processing criminal records information for Concealed
Weapons permits. Due to changes in federal law and increased costs to the City,
changes to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule fees are required to cover the increase
in fees. The fee increase would apply to the use of the Police Department's firearms
range, firearms training classes, and all fingerprinting and processing of criminal
records. By approving these fee increases the City will be able to collect the actual
costs of providing these services.
FISCAL IMPACTS
By approving these fee increases the City will be able to accurately collect the cost of
prev'I-ding theservices.
