Agenda Item Summary:
Twice a year the staff presents proposed amendments to the City fee schedule. The resolution presented includes modifications to fees charged by four departments.

  • The Airport is requesting amending various fees that are tied to CPI adjustments. These will be presented to the Airport Board prior to the Council meeting.
  • The Community Development Department is requesting a graduated fee schedule for TIF applications. This will fully account for the significant staff time that is invested in reviewing applications. It also ensures that the more complex TIF applications pay a fee proportionate to the staff time devoted to the project.
  • The Parks Department is requesting fee adjustments for various recreational activities that are in line with inflationary cost increases.
  • The Police Department is requesting the inclusion of additional fees for work that is performed for other agencies.
  • The Public Works Department is requesting adjustments for inspection and service fees to accommodate staff commitment to complete inspections. Additional fees have been included for various inspection requests that have been received. Sanitation fees are requested to be amended to partially pay for increased costs of operations.
  • Lastly a general convenience fee is included for credit card and debit card payments. This industry standard insures that this significant cost is not borne by tax and rate payers and are funded by those who receive this convenience.
