Page 462 - FY 2021-22 Proposed Budget

Licenses, Permits, Fees and Fines

For purposes of analysis, Licenses, Permits, Fees and Fines (LPFF) revenues,
which represents 20 percent of the Approved Budget General Fund receipts,
and are broken into four sub-categories: LPFF, Services to Proprietary
Departments, Ambulance Billing, and Reimbursements from Other Funds.

City department services to proprietary departments, such as fire protection,
construction inspection, and City Attorney legal services for Airports, Water
and Power, and Harbor make up the “Services to Proprietary Departments”
category. The largest category, “Reimbursement from Other Funds”, consists
of special fund reimbursements for costs that are paid for by the General Fund
for central services such as payroll, leasing and fleet, and fringe benefits such
as health insurance and retirement, as well as reimbursements to the City
from other governmental agencies such as Metro and LAUSD, for services like
policing and election administration. Ambulance Billing represents cost
recovery for emergency transport provided by the Fire Department. The
remaining revenues (23.6 percent) consist of fees for special services such as
animal licenses, engineering permits, fire brush clearance fees, as well as
numerous other smaller revenues.

Exhibit 4 presents the budgeted and estimated 2020-21 and projected 2021-
22 LPFF revenues by category.
