RESOLUTION NO. 18-1015 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE REGARDING INCREASING THE RETURNED CHECK FEE FROM $10 TO $25 TO REFLECT ACTUAL COSTS, CHANGING THE TIMING FOR PAYMENT OF BACKFLOW PREVENTION DEVICE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE, AND DELETING THE LOCAL BICYCLE LICENSING PERMIT FEE WHEREAS, the current fee for a returned check is ten dollars ($10.00), an amount established in 1999 which does not reflect modern bank charges nor staff time costs; and WHEREAS, customers with backflow prevention devices currently pay a ten dollar ($10.00) administrative fee bi-monthly (every two months, for a total of six times per year; $10 x 6 = $60) and actual billing and administration would be more efficient if the fee were paid one time per year at the same sixty dollar ($60.00) total annual cost; and WHEREAS, the current local bicycle licensing fee (ranging from $1.00 to $3.00) has not been applied by the Pleasanton Police Department for many years as local licensing of bicycles has declined because stolen bicycles are sold nationwide, and the Pleasanton Municipal Code is being proposed to be amended to repeal the local bicycle licensing requirement and related fees. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER THE FOLLOWING: SECTION 1. Amends the Master Fee Schedule to: (a) In Section I. General and Administrative Fees, Subsection A. General - increase the Returned Check Fee from ten dollars ($10.00) to twenty-five dollars ($25.00); (b) In Section IX. Water Rates, Fees and Charges, Subsection A. Water Rates & Charges, the Backflow Prevention Device Administration Charge is amended from ten dollars ($10.00) bi-monthly to sixty dollars ($60.00) annually; and (c) In Section V. Police Department, Subsection B. Special Permits - delete all Bicycle Licensing Permit Fees. SECTION 2. This resolution shall be effective immediately with regard to the increase in the returned check fee and timing for payment of backflow prevention device administrative fee; and shall go into effect simultaneously with the effective date of the omnibus ordinance amending the municipal code to delete the local bicycle licensing requirement and fee. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Pleasanton at a regular meeting held on May 1, 2018.
