determine the adequacy of the current Public Works and Planning fees.
Mr. Cheney stated that the Planning fees have not been updated since July
2001. He presented background, scope of study, major assumptions, and options
for both departments. FCS conducted a study and presented a comparison to
other local cities. Mr. Cheney stated that currently Public Works is charging an
hourly wage and would {Ike to move to a flat fee. The Council has an option of
charging full recovery of costs or partia{ recovery.
Ms. Turner stated that most cities are beginning to charge for full recovery of
costs associated with services provided by cities. As general funds get tight it is
necessary to recover costs for services. Council must decide if citizens should

fees. An increase in Planning Fees was anticipated in the current budget. The
General Fund will cover short falls.
