COMPLETED DURING FISCAL YEAR 2014 -15 AND
TEMPORARILY RETAINING THE SAME CITYWIDE USER

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Temecula does hereby find,
determine and declare that:
A. Pursuant to State Government Code Section 66014 et.al., the City of
Temecula imposes a variety of user fees as long as those fees do not exceed the
estimated reasonable cost of providing the services.
B. The City Council adopted the existing user fees by Resolution No. 04 -56,
on May 24, 2004. On June 22, 2004 and October 26, 2004, additional Resolution Nos.
04 -72 and 04 -109 were adopted to adjust for omitted fees, clerical errors, and changes
' in business practices. On January 25, 2005 and February 8, 2005, new fees for
Architectural and Telecommunications Reviews were adopted by Resolution Nos. 05 -13
and 05 -16, respectively. On January 8, 2008, Resolution No. 08 -05 was adopted
adding Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) fees to the Citywide user fee
schedule.
C. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 05 -101 on September 27, 2005,
provides for an automatic annual adjustment of user fees on July 1 of each year based
on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) —All Urban Consumers -Los Angeles, Riverside, and
Orange County -CA for the twelve month period prior to April 1 of the year in which the
change will be effective.
D. The existing fee adjustment process is manually intensive and requires
significant staff resources to calculate, update, and test the fees, and would significantly
delay the implementation of the new Energov permitting system project scheduled to be
complete in the Fall 2014.
E. By the adoption of this Resolution, the City Council intends to support the
Energov project that will provide for improved automation and efficiencies that will
benefit customers.

implemented concurrent with the Engergov project. The automatic annual adjustment
provisions of Section 1.C. of Resolution No. 05 -101 shall resume and be in effect for
