For purposes of section 54994.1, "local agency" means a
county, special district, public authority, and agency. (Gov.
Code, SS 54994.3 (b) ; 54994. ) Among others, the section
applies to the Board of Supervisors, special districts, the
Housing Authority and other public agencies under the Board's
jurisdiction.
Section 54994.1 applies whenever there is no other statute
specifically requiring a noticed bearing prior to imposition
or increase of a particular fee. (Gov. Code, S 54994.2. )
Unless another specific statutory notice requirement applies,
prior to increasing or imposing fees for a department's
services, the Board of Supervisors must give notice of and
hold a public hearing as required in section 54994 .1.
