A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS
ESTABLISHING A FEE AND SERVICE CHARGE REVENUE/COST COMPARISON
SYSTEM, CONFIRMING THE AMOUNTS OF EXISTING FEES LEVIED, AND
ESTABLISHING PRICING FOR PRODUCTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE CITY'S
HILLSIDE MEMORIAL PARK AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 7557
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Redlands as follows:
Section 1. Intent. It is the City's intent that cemetery fees set be set based on both the
City's cost and the fees charged by other competing cemeteries. The City's cemetery competes in
an open market, and undertakes a degree of business risk that is greater than other enterprises in
which the City is involved. There is no guarantee that consumers will continue to use the cemetery.
Moreover, the inix of property, services and products that the City offers to the cemetery
marketplace may have a value that is greater than its cost. Due to the market risk it undertakes,
the City (and its citizens) should be fairly reimbursed for the value it delivers into the marketplace.
Therefore, the City's cemetery fees should not be limited to only covering the City's costs. The
City's cemetery fees should be based on both cost and market. Accordingly, the City Council, by
adoption of this Resolution, confirms the City's existing fees for the City's Hillside Memorial Park
and establishes pricing for the products described in the attached Exhibit "A."
Section 2. Authority for Administrative Orders. The City Manager is hereby delegated
the authority to issue administrative orders establishing fee collection and financial procedures for
implementation of this Resolution. All such administrative orders shall be signed by the Quality
of Life Director and the Director of Management Services/Finance.
Section 3. Proposition 218 Determination. The City Council hereby finds and detennines
that the fees referenced within this Resolution are not subject to Article XIIIB of the California
Constitution (Proposition 218). Taxes, fees and levies are subject to Prop 218 if they are for a
property -related service that are imposed on a parcel or on a person as an incident of property
ownership. However, the burial plots (and mausoleum spaces, crypts, etc.) are not `parcels' as set
forth in Proposition 218. The prices for plots, crypts, etc., and the charges for services are not
`imposed' on customers of the cemetery. The customers of the cemetery chose whether or not
they want to purchase the property and/or use the service. Therefore, the prices and fees charged
at the cemetery are not subject to Proposition 21 S.
Section 4. Proposition 26 Determination. The City Council hereby finds and determines
that the fees referenced within this Resolution are not taxes as defined in Article XIII C Section
1(e) of the California Constitution because the fees are either:
A. Imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payors,
that is not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable
costs in the City of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege;

B. Imposed for a specific goverrunent service provided directly to the payor that is not
provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable costs to the
City of providing the service;
C. Imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to the City for issuing licenses and
permits, performing investigations, inspections, or audits, and the administrative
enforcement and adjudication thereof;
D. Imposed for entrance to, or use of, City property; or the purchase, rental or lease of
City property; or
E. Charges imposed as a condition of property development.
Section 6. Prior Resolutions Rescinded. Resolution No. 7557 of the City Council of the
City of Redlands relating to fees for the City's Hillside Memorial Park is hereby rescinded on the
effective date of this Resolution.
Section 7. CEQA Exemption. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the
adoption of this Resolution is exempt from review and under the California Environmental Quality
Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8)(1) and CEQA Guidelines
Section 15273 because this Resolution relates to fees and charges for the purpose of meeting the
operating expenses of the City.
Section 8. Severability. Should any part or portion of this Resolution be rendered or
declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, including any of the fees identified in the
Exhibit to this Resolution, such invalidation of such part or portion of this Resolution, or of any
fee, shall not invalidate the remaining portions hereof, of the remaining fees, and they shall remain
in full force and effect.
Section 9. Effective Date. This Resolution and the prices established and fees confirmed
by this Resolution shall become effective on December 7, 2016.
ADOPTED, SIGNED AND APPROVED this 6a' day of December, 2016.
