CHECK, INSPECTION, PERMIT AND ANNEXATION FEE
PROVISIONS OF THE DISTRICT OPERATIONS CODE
WHEREAS, the District incurs costs for the benefit of property owners that
should not be borne by the general rate payers but instead by those owners and others
that directly benefit from these services; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 66016 and general law provide that
charges for services should not exceed the estimated reasonable costs for providing the
service; and
WHEREAS, the District staff has participated in a study with the District
Treasurer to justify fees charged for certain services; and
WHEREAS, that study, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as
Exhibit A, analyzed District costs, including, but not limited to, hourly fully- burdened
rates and estimated times to perform tasks and supports the fees established herein;
WHEREAS, the Board has determined to set those fees by resolution instead of
ordinance and desires to revise its Operations Code accordingly;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District

Section 1. That Chapter 7.02 of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District Operations Code is

providing a service to a person or entity, such as a developer. In those cases, it is the
District's policy that the person receiving the service should pay for the cost of the
service and that general ratepayers not subsidize those services. Additionally, the law
provides that those persons receiving such services only be charged the estimated
reasonable cost of being provided those services.
7.02.020. Fees. Certain user fees, including, but not limited to, plan check fees,
inspection fees, permit fees and annexation fees, shall be established by separate
resolution after being justified as not exceeding the estimated reasonable cost of
providing the service."
Section 2. These fees shall supersede any existing fees for the same services.
Section 3. Should any part, clause or section of this Ordinance be declared by any Court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the remaining provisions of this Ordinance shall
nevertheless be and remain in full force and effect and the Board of Directors of the.Costa
Mesa Sanitary District of Orange County, California, hereby declares that each and every
section, clause, provision or part of this Ordinance would have been adopted and made a
part of this Ordinance without the adoption of any portion thereof and that the invalidity of
any part or provision hereof shall not in any way affect the validity or enforcement of the
remaining provisions of this Ordinance that may stand on their own.
Section 4. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 6490 and 6491.3, the Clerk shall
cause this ordinance or a summary thereof to be published in a newspaper of general
circulation printed and published in the District according to law.
