BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of El Segundo as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds as follows:
A. The City Council may establish fees for services under various provisions of
California law including, without limitation, Business & Professions Code §
16000; Education Code § 18926; Government Code §§ 36936.1, 43000,
54344, 65104, 65456, 65874, 65909.5, 65943, 66013, 66014, 66451.2; and
Health & Safety Code §§ 510, 17951, 17980.1, 19852.
B. In addition, the City Council may establish fees pursuant to El Segundo
Municipal Code § 9 -8 -6 including, without limitation, the Basic Rate for
using park property and facilities.
C. Pursuant to Government Code § 66016, the City made data available
regarding the cost, or estimated cost, of providing services for various fees
ten (10) days before the public hearing held on May 17, 2011.
D. On May 17, 2011, the City Council heard public testimony and considered
evidence in a public hearing held and noticed in accordance with
Government Code § 66016.
E. At the recommendation of the City's Departments and the City Manager,
the City Council believes that it is in the public interest to establish the
recommended fees to recover the costs of public services.
SECTION 2: The Fees attached as Exhibit 'A" and incorporated into this Resolution as if
fully set forth, are approved and adopted. Those rates identified for using park facilities
constitute the "Basic Rate" for purposes of ESMC § 9 -8 -9 and may be adjusted in
accordance with ESMC §§ 9 -8 -1, et seq.
SECTION 3: This Resolution is exempt from review under the California Environmental
Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; "CEQA ") and CEQA regulations
(Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes, modifies, structures,
restructures, and approves rates and charges for meeting operating expenses;
purchasing supplies, equipment, and materials; meeting financial requirements; and
obtaining funds for capital projects needed to maintain service within existing service
areas. This Resolution, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review
under Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, § 15273.
SECTION 4: This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and will
remain effective unless repealed or superseded.
SECTION 5: The City Clerk will certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution;
will enter the same in the book of original Resolutions of said City; and will make a minute
of the passage and adoption thereof in the record of proceedings of the City Council of
said City, in the minutes of the meeting at which the same is passed and adopted.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this day of May, 2011.

Schedule of Proposed Fees

Justification for Fee Increase
The proposed fees are a result of Fee Benchmarking with comparable facilities in the region. After survey-
ing rates and service offerings of other public golf courses and driving ranges in the surrounding area, the
proposed fees will establish more comparable rates while still remaining on the lower end of the spectrum.
In developing the proposed fees, consideration was given to minimize customer attrition by keeping the pro-
posed fees among the lowest in the area. The fees were deemed reasonable due to the high quality and value
of the product, as well as a method to recovering some of the increased expenses in operating the facility.
Because most fees have not been increased in over six years, and the operating costs have inevitably in-
creased over time, revenues above and beyond the cost of doing business can be utilized to pay down long-
term debt.
