Whereas :
1 . Health and Safety Code, Chapter 6.95 , Section. 25500 et seq.
requires each county to establish a local program to allow
emergency response personnel to prepare adequately for
emergency responses to releases or potential :releases of hazardous
materials.
2. Health and Safety Code requires specified businesses to submit
business plans which contain release response plans and
inventories of hazardous materials. These plans, and inventories
are required by law on December 30, 1986.

may, upon a majority vote of the governing body, adopt a schedule
of fees to be 'co-llected from each business required to submit a
business plan.
u . Health and Safety Code, Section 25513 provides that in adopting a
schedule of fees to be collected from each business , the
AdministeringAgency shall consider the volume and degree of hazard
potential of the hazardous materials handled by the business.
5 . Health and Safety Code,Section 25503( e) (2) requires a Data
Management System to be in operation within two years after the
business plans are required to be submitted.
6 . The Data Management System will contain all of the elements for a
billing system based on the volume and hazard potential of the
hazardous materials handled. However, since it will not be
available for approximately two years , an interim standard to
establish those fees must be determined.
Now,therefore, it is hereby RESOLVED that :
1 . A Business Plan registration fee shall be set in amount sufficient
to pay only the costs incurred by the Administering Agency, in
carrying od-tt California Health and Safety Code, Division 20,
Chapter 6.95, Section 25500 et seq.
2. Since the hazard potential and number of businesses handling
hazardous materials will not be known until after receipt and
analysis of business plans in 1987-1988, an administrative fee
consisting of a flat registration fee and size fee will be assess-
ed during the first two years of the program.
3. The flat fee will be based on one half the anticipated cost of the
program divided by the number of known handlers.

upwards or downwards where the fee based on the number of
employees clearly bears no relationship to the volume and hazard
potential of the materials handled.
