RESOLUTION NO. 11158 (2020 SERIES)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING NEW FEES AND AMENDING THE
2020-21 MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
WHEREAS, Section 2 of the City’s 2019-21 Financial Plan, titled “User Fee Cost
Recovery Goals” defines the level of cost of services for the various City services; and
WHEREAS, Section 2(G) of the City’s 2019-21 Financial Plan provides that cost recovery
for Recreation Programs directed to youth and seniors should be relatively low. In those
circumstances where services are similar to those provided in the private sector, cost recovery
levels should be higher; and
WHEREAS, Section 2(G) of the City’s 2019-21 Financial Plan set cost recovery goals for
child care services at High-Range Cost Recovery (60%-100%); and
WHEREAS, on June 2, 2020, the City Council approved the City’s Master Fee Schedule
listing all applicable service fee levels for fiscal year 2020-21; and
WHEREAS, San Luis Coastal Unified School District (SLCUSD) announced on July 16,
2020 that Fall 2020 schooling would commence via distance learning due to COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, over 300 working families have requested childcare during the months of
August – December 2020; and
WHEREAS, the City will provide modified childcare programming to kids from 8:00 a.m.
– 5:00 p.m., an expansion of before and after care; and
WHEREAS, the City has not previously provided a full day childcare program during the
school year and as such a full-time care rate did not exist; and
WHEREAS, the standard school year hourly rate is based off of the program premise of
before and after school care, and families are used to paying for 14 hours of care opposed to 45
hours of care per week; and
WHEREAS, the ability to provide childcare during the SLCUSD distance learning period
supports the economic recovery of the City, supporting the benefit to providing care at a lower
hourly rate while maintaining the cost recovery policy goals approved by Council in the City’s
current Financial Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Master Fee Schedule will be updated to reflect all new fees becoming
effective July 1, 2020.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo
