FC CASE <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION OF 2005 SCHEDULE OF RATES, FEES AND CHARGES AND CALL <br />FOR A PUBLIC HEARING <br /> By: Diana Lund, Finance Officer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Effective June 30, 1991, Ordinance #91-08 amended S7.01.10 of the City Code to allow the City <br />Council to annually set fees. <br /> <br />As in past practice, the City is allowed to annually adopt the Schedule of Rates, Fees and <br />Charges by Resolution, but due to previous discussions revolving around the water and sewer <br />trunk rates, and the notification of affected users, it is felt that it is in the best interest to adopt the <br />entire 2005 schedule by ordinance. Ordinance adoption provides the opportunity for comments <br />at a Public Hearing and gives adequate time (30 days) before the rates go into effect. <br /> <br />Attached is the Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges which includes the adopted 2004 and the <br />changes for which the proposed 2005 schedule is arrived at. <br /> <br />The above rate increases take into effect staff recommendations, industry standards, rates charged <br />by neighboring cities, and annual increases based on inflation. <br /> <br />Staff Rccom~nendation: <br /> <br />Introduce Ordinance #04-XX- 2005 Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges and calling for a Public <br />Hearing on November 9, 2004. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to introduce Ordinance #04-XX- 2005 Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges and calling <br />for a public hearing. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />FC: 1.0/26/04 <br /> <br /> <br />
