He suggested increasing the fee <br />$400; $1600 would be for park dedication and $600 would be for maintenance with the <br />maintenance amount not to exceed $500,000. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen thought that they needed to ask staff what was reasonable rather than <br />the Council putting together the numbers. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec suggested leaving the park dedication fee as is and then establish a contingency <br />fee. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler replied that staff would bring back some options. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec recommended that staff recommendations be Presented at the next Finance <br />Committee meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman suggested that the issue should go through the Park Commission as <br />well. <br /> <br />Assi stunt City Administrator Nelson noted that staff needs to a review what they can legally do. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler noted that in the future there will be a need for <br />special equipment in the Public Works department.~vith the development of Town Center.

It is an area that they could provide options to the <br />Council. " <br /> <br />City Council Work Session/August 6, 2003 <br /> Page 9 of I1 <br /> <br />-45- <br /> <br /> <br />
