RESOLUTION NO. 043-2022
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BURLINGAME APPROVING THE 2022-23 MASTER FEE
SCHEDULE FOR CITY SERVICES
WHEREAS, the City of Burlingame regularly reviews the fees that the City charges
persons or entities for the use of City facilities, or the provision of City services; and
WHEREAS, in order to ensure that the cost of such services and facilities is borne by the
users of said services and facilities in a fair and equitable manner, the City periodically adjusts the
fees for services and facility use to ensure that the fees charged reflect the actual costs to the City
and the City's taxpayers in providing those services and facilities; and
WHEREAS, in 2015, the City conducted an update of the City's Cost Allocation Plan
(CAP) and a comprehensive review of the City's schedule of fees to ensure that the fees charged
by the City to the users of City services and facilities do not exceed the actual costs of providing
the services or facilities; and
WHEREAS, these studies have since informed the annual review of the City fee schedule,
resulting in numerous adjustments to ensure that the City recovers the full cost of providing
services and facilities while at the same time not exceeding the cost of providing those services
and facilities; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined to keep some fees below the level of full cost
recovery to make the related services more readily available to citizens; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code section 6601, on April 4, 2022, the City
Council set a public hearing for May 2, 2022, to consider the adjusted fees (Resolution No. 031-
2022); and
WHEREAS, notice of the City's proposed fee schedule and of the May 2, 2022 public
hearing in connection therewith, has been duly provided pursuant to the provisions of State law;
and
WHEREAS, certain fees to be charged by the Planning and Building Divisions of the
Community Development Department and the development fees to be charged by the Fire
Department and the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department cannot become
effective until sixty (60) days after adoption of this Resolution, pursuant to Government Code
section 66017; and
WHEREAS, all adjusted fees as delineated in the Master Fee Schedule shall become
effective July 1, 2022; and
WHEREAS, despite every effort to ensure that all City fees for services are contained in
the 2022-23 Master Fee Schedule, there may be some existing fees provided for in the Municipal
Code, administrative procedures, or elsewhere that have been omitted from the Master Fee
Schedule and nothing in this resolution or Council action is intended to repeal those fees nor is
