MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Johnny Ea, Finance Director
DATE: February 2, 2006 (City Council Meeting of February 15, 2006)
SUBJECT: Consider Increasing Police Facilities Fee
DISCUSSION
A. Background
The subject fees are collected by the City's Building and Safety division prior to
issuance of building permits. The purpose of these fees is to provide funding for
construction of a new Police Services Center as a result of increased demand for
Police services arising from additional development. The Police Services Center
was completed in the fall of 2005.
B. Changes
The City has been collecting a Police Facilities Fee from new residential and
non - residential development within the City since adoption of Ordinance No. 9 in
October 1983 (Ordinance No. 9 was revised in April 1995 which resulted in the
adoption of Ordinance No. 206 and adoption of Resolution No. 95 -1112,
establishing a Police Facility Fee). The last fee increase was in September 2000
with adoption of Resolution No. 2000 -1777.
Since 2000, several of the factors that determine the fee amount have changed,
making it necessary to recommend an adjustment to the fee amounts.
C. Public Hearina
This fee falls under the regulation of Government Code Sections 66000 - 66025.
Accordingly, the fee can only be amended after certain disclosure and timeline
requirements and that there be a public hearing prior to the adoption of a new
development fee or an increase in any existing development fee. It is
recommended that such a hearing be held on March 15, 2006.

also the intent of staff to make that information available to the City Council and
other interested parties, at that time.
E. Effective Date
Any approved fee increase will not become effective until sixty (60) days after the
date the action was taken to increase the fee.

1. Set March 15, 2006, as the date of a public hearing to consider an increase to
the Police Facilities Fee.
2. Direct the City Clerk to give notice of said hearing in a manner consistent with the
requirements of the appropriate Sections of the Government Code.
