costs incurred by the City; and
5. The City has provided all notices required by law and pursuant to Government Code
Section 54992 has made available to the public for a period of ten (10) days prior to the hearing

estimated cost, required to provide the service for which the fee is levied, and the revenue sources
anticipated to provide the service, including general fund revenues; and

Fee Resolution page 1 of 4
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the fees imposed by said Fee Schedule must be paid by the
applicant for any permit in connection with which any covered plan check or inspection is
requested or required before the service is provided.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that when any covered inspection is conducted for fire safety
purposes and not at the request of the permit applicant, property owner, tenant, or other person
occupying the property, or where collecting the fee in advance is for any other reason impractical
or not in the interest of preserving fire safety, the City shall collect the fee at the earliest
opportunity and the Finance Department and City Attorney are authorized to take all actions,
including legal action, they deem necessary to collect said fees. The City's ordinances imposing
interest and authorizing the City to recover its attorneys' fees shall apply to such collection efforts.
If an applicant commences work requiring a permit for which a covered inspection or plan check
is required before submitting his or her application, the fees set forth in the Fee Schedule shall be
doubled for all covered services provided in connection with that permit application.
