E.

The fees set forth in this section shall be reviewed annually by the County Engineer. Beginning on July 1, 2011, and thereafter on each succeeding July 1st, the amount of each fee shall be adjusted as follows: Calculate the percentage movement between March of the previous year and March of the current year in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all urban consumers in the Los Angeles - Riverside - Orange County area, as published by the United States Government Bureau of Labor Statistics; adjust each fee by said percentage amount; and round up to the nearest dollar. No adjustment shall increase or decrease any fee to an amount more or less than the amount necessary to recover the reasonable cost of providing the services for which the fee is imposed. When it is determined that the amount reasonably necessary to recover the cost of providing the services for which the fees are imposed is in excess of this adjustment, the County Engineer may present fee proposals to the Board of Supervisors for approval.
