Schedule of Fees and Service Charges (Schedule), which has been subsequently amended from time-
to-time; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to said resolution, the City Manager is authorized and directed to
revise, supplement and maintain the Schedule so that it will be, to the greatest extent possible, a
comprehensive list of fees for City permits and services; and that a fee that is not on the Schedule
will not be invalid but should be made a part thereof at the earliest possible time; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City Council that all City services be self-supporting and
not subsidized as to their operational costs by revenues raised through the imposition of ad valorem
taxes or other sources of revenue; and
WHEREAS, on November 19, 1996, the City Council amended Council Policy 1402 to
allow for the mailing of 48-hour nonpayment disconnection notices mandated by the California State
Public Utilities Commission, rather than continuing the practice of personally delivering these
notices; and

Customer Service Nonpayment Disconnection Notice was held on this date, prior to the adoption of �
this Resolution;

which is for the purpose of ineeting operating expenses, or a portion thereof.
