B. Discussion and Direction on Comprehensive User Fees (page 39)\nPresented by the Community Development Director/Assistant City Manager\nRecommendation: The City Council is recommended to discuss and provide direction on the\nupdated comprehensive user fees. The City Council may consider the\nfollowing items to help guide the discussion:\n1) Receive staff and consultant presentation summarizing the proposed\ncomprehensive service and user fees.\n2) City Council to provide staff feedback and direction on its broad\nphilosophical approach to the city’s fees for service. Specifically, the\nCity Council may discuss for future adoption:\na. Set user fees at the full burden rate as described in the\nattached user fee table. This approach would result in the city\nrecovering its full cost for services; however, it would result\nin increases to various fees, including the adoption of new\nfees.\nb. Set user fees below the full burden rate as described in the\nattached user fee table. Lowering fees below the city’s full\nburden cost would result in the city subsidizing its services.\nIf the City Council takes this approach, staff recommends that\nthe City Council discuss and provide direction on:\ni. The types or category of fees to be subsidized.\nExamples could include park programs, business\nlicenses, development fees, etc.\nii. The subsidy level for types of fees. Examples could\ninclude low (less than 15-percent), moderate (15 to 25-\npercent), or high subsidy (greater than 25-percent).\n3) Based on Council comments and feedback, it is recommended that the\nCity Council set a public hearing for June 16, 2026, for adoption of a\nnew city fee schedule.
