Finance committee approves updated public‑works fees including two new charges
Summary
Muskego City’s finance committee approved a resolution updating the public‑works and development department fee schedule, adding two new fees — a patrol overtime fee tied to personnel and a storm‑sewer clean‑out fee — and consolidating items into a state‑statute required master fee sheet.
The Muskego City Finance Committee approved a resolution on Dec. 2 to update the public‑works and development department fee schedule, adding two new line items and consolidating existing fees into a single master sheet required by state statute.
City staff presented the proposed change during the committee’s special meeting. "The two things you see ... patrolmen per employee per ... overtime — we never had that — so we added that one as a brand new one," said an unidentified staff speaker (S6). The same staffer added, "And the storm sewer clean out, it's a brand new one." The presentation said other fees were not changed but were moved into the master sheet so the schedule complies with state requirements.
The update was described as largely administrative: staff said a few fees were relocated into the consolidated master fee schedule created last year and a couple of line items that had been missing from that sheet were added. The presentation noted the city is required by state statute to maintain a master fee schedule for municipal charges.
Committee members asked clarifying questions about whether the highlighted items were increases or newly added fees. Staff confirmed the two items noted above are newly added; several other entries were simply moved to the master sheet and not altered.
After brief discussion, a member moved to approve the resolution and it was seconded. The committee approved the update by voice vote.
The resolution takes effect per the schedule in the adopted fee document (not specified in the transcript). Further detail on exact fee amounts and implementation timing was not provided during the meeting.
