NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Redding FINDS, DETERMINES,
and RESOLVES as follows:
1. With respect to the proposed changes in fees and charges, the City Council finds and
determines that:
a. The fees and charges previously established by resolution continue to be
reasonably related to the cost of providing the specific services for which the fees
are charged, except as modified herein, and as based on the most recent fee study
of July 1, 2017. The modifications reflect the decreases in the costs of providing
the specific services related to the charges occasioned by the retention of retired
annuitants to assist in processing building permit applications requested by those
impacted by the Carr Fire.
b. The new fees are reasonably related to or are less than the cost of providing the
specific service for which the fee is to be charged, and is necessary to cover, but
does not exceed the City's costs of providing the service.
c. The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act do not apply to the
new or increased fees, which are for the purpose of meeting operating expenses of
a portion thereof.
d. The proposed new fees will not exceed the governmental costs in providing said
services in Fiscal Year 2018-19.
2. The fees and charges be amended to cover, but not exceed, the City's costs of providing
the services.
3. The reduction of fees shall apply to Carr Fire building permits applied for prior to
December 31, 2021.
