A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME APPROVING THE
2024-25 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, 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 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 engaged Matrix
Consulting Group to perform a comprehensive study analyzing the cost-of-service; and
WHEREAS, the Proposed Master Fee Schedule (User Fees) has been carefully reviewed
by each City department, and the amended fees will be able to keep pace with the costs of
providing City services; and
WHEREAS, notice of the City’s proposed fee schedule and of the May 6, 2024 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 Engineering Division of the Public Works
Department cannot become effective until sixty (60) days after the adoption of this Resolution,
pursuant to Government Code section 66017; and
WHEREAS, all other adjusted fees as delineated in the Master Fee Schedule shall
become effective July 1, 2024; and
WHEREAS, despite every effort to ensure that all City fees for services are contained in
the FY 2024-25 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
