\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSacramento is considering a measure to address its $66 million budget deficit by adding 83 new fees and increasing 523 existing ones, with a vote scheduled for next week. If passed, the measure would generate nearly $7.5 million annually for the city\u2019s general fund. Among the proposed changes, parking ticket fees for violations such as parking in a bike lane, bus zone, or along a red curb would increase from $100 to $150. The fee to remove a boot from a car tire would also rise to $150. The proposal includes new fees, such as one for formerly homeless individuals living in supported micro-homes. After staying for 90 days, they would be required to pay up to 30% of their gross income. People parking in city garages who lose their tickets would face fees ranging from $30 to $37. Electric vehicle drivers who exceed the posted time limit at charging stations would be charged $5 per hour. Fees at the Sacramento Marina would increase by 5%, and a new dock alteration recovery fee would cost $50. The largest increase would be for a permit to install an electric sign on a business, which would rise from $30 to $216\u2014a 620% increase. The measure does not propose fee increases for residential parking permits or on-street parking meters.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
