I have a list of California cities with associated fees we charge I need to add to a database. I'd rather avoid using MS excel, because it converts so poorly to web based mysql databases.

Are there any convertible or MYsql compatable database programs I could have this data entered into for later conversion to a mysql web based interface? we're about 6 months away from having the code up and running for it on the web, but we are using it now daily, and its a PITA the way its being used.

Well, you could just save it as a comma or Tab delimited file. That can be very easy to read into any database including MySQL. Just make sure that whatever delimiter you use, isn't accidentally repeated in a data field.
