CVFPB will consider approval of the rulemaking documentation to initiate the formal rulemaking process for implementing permit and inspection fees. CVFPB's funding strategy includes implementing fees to ensure it can continue to perform its regulatory obligations of flood risk reduction in the Central Valley.
The proposed fee regulations are exempt from environmental review under a statutory exemption from CEQA and section 15273 and section 15273 of CEQA Guidelines providing that the adoption of fee schedules are not subject to CEQA. CVFPB finds the proposed regulations and fee schedule are for the purpose of reducing its operating expenses.
