County holds first hearing on updated master schedule of fees; board sets second reading
Summary
Fresno County held a first hearing to update its master schedule of fees across multiple departments, directed county counsel to prepare a summary under Government Code 25124(b)(1), and set a second hearing for May 2025.
Fresno County held a first hearing Wednesday on an updated master schedule of fees covering computer services, parks and recreation, public works, and development services and directed county counsel to prepare a fair and adequate summary for publication under the state government code.
Why it matters: Regular updates to fee schedules align charges with actual cost recovery and ensure departmental services are funded appropriately.
Details: Department of Public Works and Planning staff presented the proposed updates; staff said the fees had been reviewed by the Auditor-Controller and last updated the prior year. The board confirmed it believed the revised fee structure was adequate to cover costs. County counsel was directed to prepare a fair-and-adequate summary under Government Code section 25124(b)(1). A second hearing was scheduled for May 2025 to consider the ordinance adoption.
Board action: The board voted to waive reading the ordinance in full, designate county counsel to prepare the summary, and set the second reading. The motion carried unanimously.
Next steps: County counsel will prepare the summary and the clerk will post and publish the required notice; the board will consider adoption at the scheduled second hearing.
