Contra
FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator
Costa
DATE: April 10 , 1985 County
SUBJECT: Legislation:'' Senate, Bill 601 ..(Royce) �`�
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR.RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position in favor of SB 601 by Senator Royce which
would allow the Board of Supervisors to increase the fee for
service of process to the actual cost of such service if the
Board of Supervisors determines that the actual cost exceeds
the statutory maximum of $14. 00.
BACKGROUND:
Government Code_ Section 26721 presently limits the fee for
serving or executing any process or notice required by law or
the litigants to be served to $14. 00.
The Sheriff estimates that the actual cost of serving a process
is closer to $50 .00. SB 601 authorizes the Board of
Supervisors to recover this actual cost whenever they determine
that the actual cost exceeds $14.00. This bill appears to be
consistent with that portion of the Board' s legislative program
which endorses an increase in "user fees" to more nearly
recover actual cost. The Board of Supervisors should,
therefore, indicate their support for SB 601. The Sheriff
supports SB 601.
