Summary

Dawn Brooks, the city CFO, told the council the proposed FY25 fee schedule updates are cost-recovery measures (not revenue-generating) and the council approved Ordinance 02024-32 adopting the updated schedule.

The council approved Ordinance 02024-32 adopting the municipal fee schedule for fiscal year 2025 after a short presentation by Dawn Brooks, the city's chief financial officer. Brooks described the proposed fee changes as part of the FY25 budget process and emphasized they are intended to recover costs rather than generate new revenue: "These fees are a cost recovery mechanism. They are not revenue generating."

Staff said the financial impacts of the revised fees were already incorporated into the adopted FY25 budget and that the detailed list of individual changes was included in the agenda packet. Council voted to adopt the ordinance following a motion from Mayor Pro Tem Welder and a second from Zach Smith; the item passed without extended debate.

Why it matters: Fee schedules determine what residents and businesses pay for city services and affect cost-recovery for multiple departments. Council approved the ordinance after verifying that the changes were reflected in the FY25 adopted budget.
