A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA ADOPTING THE LAMBRA HIRING
TAX CREDIT VOUCHER APPLICATION PROCESSING
FEE AND INCORPORATING THE FEE INTO
RESOLUTION NO. 08-60, THE COMPREHENSIVE
SCHEDULE OF FEES
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby resolve as follows:
The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. In 2001, the State designated Tustin Legacy as a Local Agency Military
Base Recovery Area (LAMBRA) Zone. The Tustin Legacy LAMBRA provides
significant state tax advantages to businesses locating in the Tustin Legacy
LAMBRA. Businesses can receive tax incentives far hiring qualified employees,
credit for sales or use tax paid or incurred on qualified property, business
expense deduction for the cost of qualified property and a net operating loss
carryover.
B. The Office of the City Manager is responsible for administering the Tustin
Legacy LAMBRA program. Businesses seeking to take advantage of the tax
incentive for hiring qualified employees must submit a Hiring Tax Credit Voucher
Application to the Office and the Office reviews the application and, if eligible,
issues a Hiring Tax Credit Voucher Certificate.
C. The Office of the City Manager has analyzed the cost to administer the
program and the proposed fee does not exceed the estimated cost of service for
which the fee is being levied. The Office calculates the staff time required to
review the application and approve the certificate will cost the City, on average,
$75 to process the paperwork. In addition, the California Department of Housing
and Community Development charges the City $15 for every application
submitted. As a result, the total charge for the fee will be $90 for each
application processed. The review time will be within 25 working days from
submittal. An additional fee of $50 will be charged to expedite reviewing the
Voucher Application within 10 working days from submittal.
D. On September 2, 2008, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 08-60,
amending the City-wide Comprehensive Schedule of Fees.
E. It is not the Council's intention to repeal previously adopted fees but to
incorporate the LAMBRA Hiring Tax Credit Voucher Application fee into
Resolution No. 08-60's Comprehensive Schedule of Fees.
F. A Public Hearing regarding the LAMBRA Hiring Tax Credit Voucher
Application Fee was held on October 18, 2011 in accordance with Section 65018
of the California Government Code, at which oral or written presentations could

Nearing was published pursuant to Government Code Section 6062(a).
II. The City Council hereby does resolve as follows:

incorporated into Resolution No. 08-60's Comprehensive Schedule of Fees and
shall be levied until further resolution of this Council.
B. This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon adoption and the City
Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Tustin, at a regular
meeting on the 18t" day of October, 2011.
