Granite Falls council discusses draft 2026 Master Fee Schedule; public hearing set
Summary
City staff discussed proposed changes to the draft 2026 Master Fee Schedule and told the council a public hearing will be held Sept. 3, 2025 or Oct. 15, 2025; no fee changes were adopted at the meeting.
City Manager Jeff Balentine, City Clerk Darla Wilkins and Deputy City Manager Brent Kirk led a discussion of the draft 2026 Master Fee Schedule at the Aug. 20 Granite Falls City Council meeting. Staff outlined proposed updates and next steps and said a public hearing on the Fee Resolution is scheduled for Sept. 3, 2025 or Oct. 15, 2025; the council took no final action and asked staff to return with final ordinance language at a later meeting.
Balentine and staff described the discussion as a staff-level review of proposed fee changes and procedural timing rather than a vote. The minutes record that staff from public works and finance participated in the review; no fee amounts or detailed line-item changes were recorded in the minutes for this session.
The record contains an inconsistent transcription of the city clerk’s name (appearing as Darla Wilkins in the meeting roster and as "Darla Reese" in the fee-schedule item). The council's next steps are to publish hearing notices and present final ordinance language at the scheduled hearing.
