Fees, Fees, Fees

The Pasadena Star News is reporting on the recent Arcadia City Council approval of fee increases citywide. Most folks will see fee increases in parking citation fines and collision report processing from APD. See the newspaper article HERE. Many comments on the topic have been posted and some are quite right in that the City is passing on the cost of service. The State has raised the amounts that we contribute for citations and when you compare numbers across the board, APD is actually well within the norm or below. Everyone has unfortunately felt the pinch and municipalities are no different.
