PURPOSE
F-4
In order that budget preparation may proceed on an orderly basis with adequate time
given to consideration of all matters, and in order to establish a basis for staff
recommendations on revenue matters, the following policies are established.
A. Revenue measure changes may be processed at any time during the entire fiscal
year. However, the normal procedure will be to introduce them at the outset of
the of active budget preparation process. Changes should ordinarily become
effective at the start of the new fiscal year.
B. Special services, which can be identified with the recipients, will be self -
supported from service fees to the maximum extent possible. Service fees shall
be established in the Master Fee Schedule in compliance with applicable State
law, and shall be periodically reviewed for compliance with applicable State law.
C. Every reasonable effort will be made to establish revenue measures which will
cause the transients and recreation visitors to Newport Beach to carry a fair
portion of the expenses incurred by the City as a result of their use of public
facilities.
D. At the outset of the budget cycle, and when requested by the Administrative
Services Director, each department shall provide the Administrative Services
Department a listing of the fees imposed by department. This listing shall
identify the estimated costs to the City in providing the product or service
associated with each fee as well as any recommended revision in the fee.
E. The Administrative Services Department, with the assistance of the initiating
department, shall present for City Council review any new or revised revenue
measures. The Administrative Services Department shall endeavor to consult
with private individuals, business groups and individual business persons on
the economic impact any recommended revenue measure changes may have on
them, including but not limited to the City's Economic Development Committee
and the Newport Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce. Their response, the
estimated costs to the City in providing the product or service and the
recommended revision to the revenue measure shall be included in the
information forwarded to the City Council.
