A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF REDDING AMENDING ITS SCHEDULE OF FEES AND
SERVICE CHARGES TO ADD A NEW MONTHLY FEE
FOR PROVIDING FIRE HYDRANT SERVICE OUTSIDE
THE INCORPORATED AREA OF THE CITY OF
REDDING.
WHEREAS:
A. On October 4, 1988, by Resolution 88-364, the City Council adopted a Schedule of
Fees and Service Charges (Schedule), which has been subsequently amended from time-to-time.
B. 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.
C. 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.
D. In response to a request from fire agencies, staff has recommended that the Schedule
be amended for the Municipal Utilities Department, Water Utility Division, to include the
following monthly fee for fire hydrant service outside the incorporated area of the City of
Redding:
Service Charge Fee
Demand Charge $ 9.94
Maintenance Cost $11.50
Billing/Collection Charge $ 3.00
Surcharge/Monthly Service Fee x 1.5 $12.22
Total Monthly Fee $36.66
E. A public meeting on the proposed new monthly fee was held on this date prior to the
adoption of this resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Redding FINDS,
DETERMINES and RESOLVES as follows:
1. With respect to the proposed new monthly fee set forth above, the City Council finds
and determines that:
a. The new fee is reasonably related to or is less than the cost of providing the specific
service for which the fee is to be charged, and is necessary to cover the City's costs
of providing the service.
b. The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act do not apply to the new
fee, which is for the purpose of meeting operating expenses or a portion thereof.
c. The proposed new fee will not exceed the governmental costs in providing said
service in fiscal year 2002-2003.
2. That the City's Schedule of Fees and Service Charges be amended to include the
new monthly fee for fire hydrant service outside the incorporated area of the City of Redding, to
cover the City's costs of providing the service.
3. On the first day of July, 2003, and on every July 1 thereafter, said fee shall
automatically increase by an amount equal to the latest published annual increase in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers, mid-size western cities.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was introduced, read and adopted at
a regular meeting of the City Council on the 21st day of January, 2003, by the following vote:
