7. COUNCIL BUSINESS <br />7.01: Introduce Ordinance #20-20: 2021 Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges <br />Finance Director Lund reviewed the staff report and recommendation to introduce Ordinance #20- <br />20:2021 Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges. <br />Councilmember Menth referenced the code enforcement offenses and penalties listed and asked <br />for details on what would occur on fourth and fifth offenses. <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill replied that the ceiling currently is the third violation and <br />provided details on that code enforcement process. He stated that the if the violation continues to <br />be repeated, it would be at the $500 level. He stated that if that becomes ineffective the City can <br />abate the situation and assess the clean-up costs to the property or proceed with criminal citation. <br />Councilmember Musgrove referenced facility use and asked if those are available without a charge <br />or whether a reservation is required. <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer replied that most of those fees are associated with things <br />such as tournaments where a reservation would be desired. He stated that if residents just want to <br />play and it is open, they can do so. <br />Councilmember Musgrove referenced the dangerous dog licensing and asked if the City would get <br />more people to license the dog if the fee were less. <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill noted that tonight's action is an introduction, and the Council <br />can receive clarification on that prior to final adoption. <br />Councilmember Specht asked if the fees for things such as Sunday Sales for liquor compare to <br />neighboring communities. He asked how often the comparison is completed. <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that generally the City is very competitive, if not lower, <br />for many of these fees. He confirmed that a comparison is completed, although not on a regular <br />schedule. <br />Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember Kuzma, to introduce Ordinance <br />#20-20: 2021 Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges. <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Specht asked for clarification on the motion.
