EXHIBIT A <br />The following information explains the methods used by the Colton Police <br />Department to determine the proposed amount to be charged by the City of Colton for the <br />public safety service fee as described in Colton Municipal Code Section 9.16.010(C). The <br />proposed fee amount is as follows: <br />Public Safety Service Fee $30.00/hour, billed in quarter hour <br />increments <br />The proposed fee was determined by calculating the hourly cost for Police <br />Department staff and by reviewing the amount of time typically required to respond to <br />public safety service calls as described in Colton Municipal Code Section 9.16.010. <br />The average hourly cost of staff time was determined by averaging the <br />salaries of the Cotton Police Department personnel, including Police Officers and clerical <br />personnel, who are typically involved in responding to public safety service calls as <br />described in the above Municipal Code section. Based on the salaries of these staff <br />members, the average hourly cost of staff was determined to be $30.00. <br />The public safety service fee will be billed in quarter hour increments for the <br />total amount of response time required for Colton Police Department personnel to respond <br />to public safety service calls, pursuant to Colton Municipal Code Section 9.16.010. The <br />Chief of Police or his or her designee shall cause appropriate billings to be sent to each <br />person responsible for the violation for which a public safety service fee is imposed under <br />Colton Municipal Code Section 9.16.010. <br />RVKM\NG3\627019 <br />-3- <br />
