A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TEMECULA URGING RIVERSIDE COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS TO REPEAL THE IMPOSITION OF BOOKING
FEES ON COUNTY CITIES
NOW BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Temecula as follows:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and
declare as follows;
The State of California in 1990/91, in response to a State fiscal crisis, reduced
county revenues and authorized counties to charge cities for the cost of booking
prisoners into county jails to offset the lost revenue.
B. Riverside County imposed such a booking fee that now totals $110.40 per
booking and generates $2 million of revenue for the County.
Such booking fees are inequitable because they are only paid by cities, allowing
residents in unincorporated areas to receive the same services free of charge.
Revenues that the County will be receiving from the tobacco court judgement will
be more than sufficient to replace revenue lost if booking fees are eliminated.
Section 2. The City Council of the City of Temecula does hereby urge the Riverside County
Board of Supervisors to abolish booking fees that are currently charged to cities.
