Finance director outlines fee increases: stormwater EDU, recreation fees and parking updates
Summary
The finance director proposed multiple fee changes including stormwater EDU from $10 to $20 per month (billed bimonthly as $40), parking-session and violation adjustments, and recreation rental and program fee increases; commissioners debated backing-in parking enforcement and asked staff to remove a proposed backing-in penalty.
The finance director reviewed proposed updates to the city's Fees and Collection Manual. Notable changes included raising the stormwater EDU from $10 to $20 per month (billed bimonthly as $40), adjustments to parking violation fees and a $96 24-hour parking session fee, increases in recreation program and facility rental rates, and updated fire and marina fee schedules.
Commissioners discussed a proposed backing-in parking violation fee; the prevailing sentiment was to remove a standalone backing-in fine from the schedule and to isolate any restrictions to problem locations rather than citywide. Staff said the change to a $20 EDU is intended to simplify the billing calculation and address cost shortfalls; commissioners agreed to proceed toward first reading and public hearings under the TRIM timetable.
