Title
HEARING - Consider recommendations regarding the adoption of the Proposed Fee Ordinance for the Surveyor Division in Public Works Department, as follows:
a) Approve the introduction (first reading) of the proposed Ordinance amending fees for County Surveyor services;
b) Read the title “An Ordinance Adopting a Schedule of Fees for Services Provided by the Department of Public Works, County Surveyor Division in Connection with the Review and Approval of Subdivision and Survey Related Documents and Maps within the Jurisdiction of Santa Barbara County,” and waive full reading of the selected Ordinance; and
c) Continue the hearing on the Administrative Agenda to consider recommendations, as follows:
i) Consider and approve the adoption (second reading) of the Ordinance amending fees for County Surveyor services effective 60 days after adoption; and
ii) Find that the above-recommended actions are the establishment, modification, structuring, restricting, or approval of rates, tolls, fees, or other charges by public agencies which the public agency finds are for the purpose of meeting operating expenses and purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment, or materials and are therefore not subject to the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) under California Public Resources Code section 21080, subdivisions (b)(8)(A) and (B), and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15273, subdivisions (a)(1) and (a)(2), and are an administrative activity of the County, which will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and is therefore not a “project” as defined for purposes of the CEQA under State CEQA Guidelines and Section 15378, subdivisions (b)(4) and (b)(5).
COUNTY EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION: CONTINUE TO 4/6/2021
