POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support adoption of the 2016 fee schedule?
BACKGROUND:
Fees are charged to customers, citizens, and other parties for city services and must be commensurate with the service provided. In other words, in most cases, the fee amount is intended to recapture the entire cost of providing these services to the party benefitting from the service. Staff has been working with council to remove references to specific fee amounts from the city codes and instead review and adopt fees at the same time, annually.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The 2016 fee schedule includes only two proposed fee changes, annual storm drainage fees and annual sewer service charges.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The fiscal impacts of the 2016 fee schedule are:
• Annual storm drainage fees are proposed to increase by three and three tenths percent (3.3%) for operational and capital needs of the storm sewer system.
• Annual sewer service charges are proposed to increase by two percent (2%) for operational and capital needs of the sewer utility system and the treatment plant.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the proposed fee schedule.
PROPOSED MOTION:
Proposed Motion
I move to approve on second reading the ordinance adopting the 2016 fee schedule.
