STAFF ORIGINATOR: Roberta Colotti, City Clerk MEETING DATE November 10, 2025 AGENDA ITEM: First Reading Ordinance No. 19-25, Amending City Code Chapter 218, Fee Schedule VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority INTRODUCTION The 2026 Fee Schedule is being presented for the review and approval of the City Council. BACKGROUND The City Council provided first reading of Ordinance No. 19-25 at the October 27th meeting. At that time, the City Council provided direction to review the fees further. Because the fees are proposed to be changed from the time of the first reading, it is advised by the City Attorney that the updated fee schedule be presented for another first reading. As a result, the first reading is scheduled for November 10th and the second reading/adoption is scheduled for November 24th. Fees are consolidated into one schedule, which has been codified by ordinance, to be reviewed and adopted on an annual basis to provide for an efficient and timely method of reviewing and adjusting the various fees charged by the city. Staff has reviewed the fees in place to ensure their ongoing equity and cost recovery ability. The City Council conducted a public hearing on the utility rates on October 27th in accordance with City Charter Section 11.06 Notice of Public Hearing. This hearing meets the intent of the City Charter and no changes are proposed to the draft utility rates from those published in the notice. No changes to the liquor license fees are proposed and, as a result, notice has not been provided to current license holders or published regarding any amendment to the liquor license fees. Attached is the draft of Ordinance No. 19-25, Amending City Code Chapter 218, Fee Schedule with the proposed fee amendments provided for the consideration of the City Council. Page 61 of 101
