§ 3-176. Periodic adjustment to library facilities fees.

From time to time, county staff may submit documentation substantiating that there has been an increase in the cost of acquiring, developing or improving library facilities and equipment within the unincorporated and incorporated area of Butte County, and requesting an increase in the library facilities fees authorized and levied pursuant to the provisions of this article. The board of supervisors may increase the fees in an amount proportional to the increase in such costs. The determination of whether there has been an increase in the cost of acquiring, developing or improving library facilities and equipment and the amount of the increase in the library facilities fees which is proportional to the increase in such costs shall be made by the board of supervisors based on the following:

The net percentage increase in the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for San Francisco (using the CCI column of the "ENR City Cost Index—San Francisco") (based on 1913 U.S. average = one hundred (100)) as last published in the Engineering News Record McGraw Hill Construction Weekly (or on the internet) between the date of such increase and the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section or any prior increase in the fees made pursuant to the provisions of this section.

The formula for adjusting the fee is: (New index amount/amount of index at time of existing fee) x existing fee = new fee.
