Fee Schedule: Rueckert presented the proposed 2021 fees and discussed the handful of fee increases proposed to better cover the actual staff costs associated with those items. Accepting Credit Cards: Rueckert presented the proposal from Invoice Cloud to add the functionality of accepting credit cards for utility bills, permits, and other fees. Staff believes the cost is reasonable and is the best solution for the city given its integration with the city’s existing finance software. Nominal fees will be absorbed by the city and the transaction fees will be passed on to the residents/applicants. Council was in support of offering an additional payment option for the convenience of the residents. City Manager Search: Mayor Still reported that the profile will be discussed at the Council Meeting on 10/27/20. Future Work Session Dates: Council discussed messaging on absentee voting and determined it was best to use already developed messaging through the city communication channels to get messaging out most efficiently. Council discussed city-wide internet and will revisit the topic when building the 2021 Pyramid at the Goal Setting session in January 2021.
