Summary

Council asked the city manager to work with department heads and the audit committee to review and update citywide fee schedules, aiming for changes to take effect January 1, 2027.

Council Member Daniel Freeman asked the city manager to explore ways the city could collect or save additional revenue to avoid utility rate increases and requested a comprehensive review of fees charged across city departments. City Manager Michael Stelmaszek said he had begun looking into the issue and council voted to have the manager, department heads and the audit committee prepare a revised fee schedule to start January 1, 2027.

The motion was moved by Freeman and seconded by Olson and carried unanimously. Stelmaszek indicated work would begin after the start of the fiscal year in July and that the audit committee would be involved in the review.
