The fees charged to issue a new certificate of ownership shall be established by the county's legislative body.
Notwithstanding
any other law to the contrary, an additional fee of not more than [$1 for each

related activities of highways under the ownership, control, and jurisdiction
of each county; [and]

certificates of registration for all motor vehicles [other than
U-drive motor vehicles] may be increased by ordinance up to a maximum of
$10[; provided that all amounts received from any fee increase over $2 shall
be expended only for the purposes of paragraph (2)]. The moneys so assessed and collected shall be
