Committee recommends 2026 fee schedule, including higher mowing and equipment rates

Finance & Taxation Committee (City of Monroe) · October 14, 2025

Summary

Administrator Britney presented the draft 2026 fee schedule with selective fee increases; the committee questioned and discussed street and sanitation service fees and rates billed for mowing/removal of noxious weeds. The committee voted to recommend the schedule to council.

Administrator Britney reviewed the 2026 draft fee schedule (effective Jan. 1) and noted items with increases were highlighted in the packet. She explained that staff compare rates to other communities and consider equipment and operator costs when projecting the revenue impact. Committee members asked whether the mowing/removal of noxious weeds fee reflects city crew work on private property; staff confirmed that the city bills for that service.

When asked about the specific charge, a committee member said, "I see is that $66 per hour?" and staff summarized the staff rates as: "The mower operator at 46, and the weed eater at 34." The committee moved and seconded a recommendation to forward the fee schedule to council; the roll call vote was unanimous.
