EXHIBIT A
TOWN OF LOS GATOS FEE SCHEDULE
The following Fee Schedule is effective July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, unless updated by the
Town Council. The Fee Schedule will be adjusted annually by the average Consumer Price Index
(Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor for the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose

minimum annual adjustments for those fees that are directly related to personnel costs. Other
adjustments may be made to maintain consistency with the surrounding municipalities within the
