EXHIBIT A
COST RECOVERY AMOUNT DETERMINATION FOR EXCESSIVE
USE OF POLICE SERVICES UNDER CHAPTER VI OF TITLE 14 OF
THE COSTA MESA MUNICIPAL CODE
Each lodging establishment will be charged $360.00 for each call for service for
nuisance activity occurring at that establishment, as defined by Section 14-81(r) of
the Costa Mesa Municipal Code, that exceeds the allotted threshold for that
establishment.
The cost recovery amount.of $360.00 per service call is calculated as follows:
This amount is calculated by dividing the total police department budget (FY
2013-14 = $40,248,392.00) by the average number of annual calls for service
after removing patrol checks and 911 and wireless 911 calls that were
unnecessary to log, unfounded, or cancelled (approximately 78,200). Using
this methodology will yield a cost recovery of approximately $515.00 per call.
This amount, $515.00, is then offset by 30% in order to counteract charges
for services not likely attributed .to lodging establishment enforcement.
Therefore, the amount per call above the allotted threshold comes out to be
$360.00. .
