DATE: February 27, 2020
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager

RECOMMENDATION:
Fee and Fine Schedules for Fiscal Year 2020/21
a.Adopt a resolution approving the Comprehensive Fee Schedule for FY 2020/21 to continue
certain department fees, rates, and charges, and amending certain fees, rates, and charges
for FY 2020/21.
b.Adopt a resolution approving the Comprehensive Fine Schedule for FY 2020/21 to continue
certain department fines.
BACKGROUND:
The Town’s financial policies require that certain fees, rates, and charges for services be
maintained to allow for cost recovery based on the actual cost to provide Town services. “Fee”
activities are services and functions provided by the Town to individuals who receive some
direct material benefit above and beyond services offered to residents at general taxpayer
expense. “Fines” are the amounts of the penalties for code violations imposed pursuant to
Section 1.30.025 of the Los Gatos Town Code.

SUBJECT: Fee and Fine Schedule for Fiscal Year 2020/21
DATE: March 17, 2020
BACKGROUND (continued):
Staff periodically reviews the cost of providing such services and recommends appropriate
increases in fees when supported by actual cost data. The Town’s last comprehensive cost
allocation and user fee study concluded last fiscal year and the recommendations were
incorporated in the FY 19/20 Fee Schedule.
DISCUSSION:
The Comprehensive Fee Schedule allows for an annual adjustment of fees by the average
increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the previous calendar year. The average increase
in the CPI for 2019 was 3.2%. Attached for Council reference is an updated FY 2020/21
Comprehensive Fee Schedule (Exhibit A to Attachment 1) reflecting all Town fees (including
proposed changes) and an itemized list of recommended FY 2020/21 fee adjustments,
reclassifications, and deletions, including those to be adjusted by the average CPI (Attachment
3). The proposed FY 2020/21 Comprehensive Fee Schedule accounts for modifications to fees
as explained below:
Administrative Services
1.Credit Card Processing Fee – Proposing 2.2% fee on all transactions to reflect actual
costs to the Town.
Development Services
1.Community Benefit – The Town no longer has a Community Benefit Policy so it should
be removed from the Fee Schedule.
2.Street Improvement in-lieu fees – Proposing to increase these two fees to reflect
current costs as determined by bids for recent CIP projects.
Library Services
1.Overdue Fees – Revenues from overdue fines have dropped to the point where the
administration of collecting those fines now outweighs the revenue it generates. This is
due primarily to utilization of auto-renewals for items on library patron accounts which
now allows up to nine weeks of item use before fines start accruing. Administratively, it
now makes more sense for us to invoice an item as lost by the patron if it is not
returned after this time period, rather than hold the item record open to accrue fines.
Parks and Public Works Services
1.Tree Removal Permit Application – Proposing to add a note to this fee indicating that
the fee will be waived when the tree removal is done to implement or maintain
Defensible Space.
PAGE 3 OF 3
SUBJECT: Fee and Fine Schedule for Fiscal Year 2020/21
DATE: March 17, 2020
DISCUSSION (continued):
Police Services
1.Massage Permit Fees – State law has created a statewide permitting system
administered by the California Massage Therapy Council for issuing massage worker
permits. Therefore, the Police Department no longer incurs the costs that the fees in
items 10 and 11 were imposed to cover.
The Comprehensive Fine Schedule sets forth the administrative penalty amounts for code
violations. Attached for Council reference is an updated FY 2020/21 Comprehensive Fine
Schedule (Exhibit A to Attachment 2) reflecting all Town fines.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that Town Council approve the proposed adjustments to the
Comprehensive Fee Schedule and the Comprehensive Fine Schedule effective July 1, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Town’s financial polices require that fees be maintained to provide for the recovery of costs
associated with Town services. The proposed fee adjustments reflect an increase in the CPI,
and, therefore, better represent the cost to deliver services. If approved by the Town Council,
staff will incorporate the fee changes into the Town’s FY 2020/21 Operating and Capital Budget
using conservative activity projections.
COORDINATION:
The preparation of the Fee and Fine Schedules was coordinated with all Town Departments and
Offices.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.

TOWN OF LOS GATOS FEE SCHEDULE
The following Fee Schedule is effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, 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 Metropolitan Statistical Area) for the calendar year and/or by the percentage increase in
actual operating costs for the current year – whichever is greater. This Fee Schedule also
provides for 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 Town of Los Gatos region but in no case are fees charged in excess of
service delivery costs.
