Board reviews proposed 2026 schedule-of-fees; staff proposes $100 block-party charge plus $200 damage deposit
Summary
Staff presented the proposed 2026 schedule of fees, recommending no utility-rate changes pending a rate study, revisions to impact and liquor fees, a $250 annexation administrative fee, and a new block-party fee set at $100 plus a $200 damage deposit.
City staff walked the board through changes proposed to the 2026 schedule of fees and said utility rates are not being changed pending a rate study. "We are not proposing changes to the utility rates for '26 at this time. We are going out for a rate study," staff member Rick said, introducing the packet and timeline for readings.
Parks and recreation staff proposed several program-name clarifications and a new block-party line. "That block party will result in a $100 fee per party plus a $200 damage wager or damage deposit," a parks staffer said. Other departmental adjustments included a proposed administrative annexation fee ($250), changes to fingerprinting and police reporting fees (under review), and a sanitation-rate calculation tied to a GFL contract with locked-in increases of about 1.7% for the next two years.
