Body
OVERVIEW
Today's actions request that the Board of Supervisors (Board) review and approve the introduction of four ordinances for amendments to San Diego County Administrative Code Article IV-A, San Diego County Administrative Code Article XX, San Diego County Administrative Code Article X-A, and the San Diego County Assessment Appeals Boards and Assessment Hearing Officers Rules of Procedure related to fees for Written Assessment Appeals Board Findings and Conclusions. In addition, the Board is requested to adopt a resolution relating to the hourly billing rates for the Office of County Counsel.
The recommended ordinances and resolution represent a comprehensive package that supports the Finance and General Government Group's services in alignment with Board Policy B-29, Fees, Grants, Revenue Contracts - Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery, which generally requires that departments recover the full cost of all services provided for which fees may be charged. The proposed changes are the result of an analysis of services provided to the public, processing times, and associated costs to provide those services. The Finance and General Government Group reviewed a total of 25 existing fees and rates, resulting in 19 increases and 6 decreases, and is proposing 1 new fee in the Office of the Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk, and 1 new fee in the Office of Treasurer-Tax Collector.
The Auditor & Controller has reviewed and approved the supporting documentation and methodology for establishing the fees and rates in this proposal for Fiscal Year 2024-25, as appropriate.
