She also noted <br />that staff did increase park dedication fees by $100. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak stated that the Council had discussed placing the additional $100 <br />collected for park dedication in a park maintenance fund, but no decision was ever made. The <br />fee is charged to the developer regardless, but then the City would be placing $100 of it in a <br />separate fund for maintenance. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook replied that the City has to be able to show benefit for the park dedication <br />fees they collect. <br /> <br />City Council Budget Work Session/November 10, 2003 <br /> Page 1 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
