Councilmember Beyer stated that the office area has plenty of room; it's just the Police <br />Depamnent and the Fire Department that need more space. <br /> <br />Case #5: Review of the Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges <br /> <br />Finance Officer Hart stated that the schedule of rates, fees and charges will have to be <br />reviewed by the City Attorney. Chapter 7 of the City Code says we have to amend certain <br />fees by ordinance. She suggested the need for mending Chapter 7 to allow the change by <br />resolution. The proposed changes to the rates and charges were recommended by various <br />staff. These recommendations included increases, decreases and the addition of new <br />charges in several areas.
