NEWSRACK PERMIT FEE
Summary: The City's fee schedule does not include a fee for issuing a newsrackpermit.
City Council approval is required to establish a newsrack permit fee.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 99-53 approving a newsrack permit fee.
FISCAL IMPACT
This is a city-initiated project. Imposition of a newsrack permit fee will provide a minor increase
in General Fund revenues to offset staff costs for processing newsrack permits.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City Council had second reading of Ordinance No. 1218 on July 6, 1999. Ordinance No.
1218 amends Tustin City Code Section 7212 pertaining to the approval and enforcement of
newsracks.
Tustin City Code Section 7212c(4) requires that applicants pay fees provided by resolution of the
City Council. The City's fee schedule does not include a fee for issuing a newsrack permit;
therefore, adoption of Resolution No. 99-53 would amend the Schedule of Planning Fees and
Service Charges to provide for a fee to cover the staff costs to process newsrack permits.
Processing the permit will include verifying appropriate location, size and securing mechanism
for the newsrack and liability insurance certifications.
The California Government Code authorizes the collection of fees provided the fee amount does
not exceed the cost of providing a service. Based on the staff and research time estimated to be
necessary to process a newsrack permit, staff recommends a $125 fee per application. If more
than three permit applications are processed concurrently by a company or individual, a deposit
of $500 will be required. The $125 per permit fee is based on three (3) hours of staff time, plus
administrative costs, to verify that the newsrack will comply with all established standards and
inspect the newsrack after installation. The fee reflects the reasonable and equitable cost recovery
for these services.
