<br />Acting Mayor Riley called for it to be seen in one more work session before the public hearing. <br /> <br />Finance Director Lund asked if it would be okay to put this on the next meeting and have asking <br />for the public hearing on the consent agenda. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley said yes. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to discuss this further at the next work session. <br /> <br />2.04: Review Proposed 2023 Schedule Rates, Fees, and Charges <br /> <br />Finance Director Lund reviewed the staff report and discussed the proposed rates and charges for <br />2023. <br /> <br />Interim Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood clarified the item concerning PACT <br />Charter School field maintenance stating this was for general maintenance. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley asked Interim Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood to talk <br />about the field maintenance fees as they are large increases. <br /> <br />Interim Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood explained the method to this and <br />that the maintenance being charged for are of small fraction to the actual cost. He added that a few <br />years ago the City met with their counterparts in Anoka and standardized field maintenance costs <br />for the athletic associations. He said these increases have been communicated to the athletic <br />association. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley asked about the charges for stripping for softball and baseball and if they were <br />per game or per week. <br /> <br />Interim Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood said these charges are per game or <br />per day and the City has a system for knowing when the games are scheduled for. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked how usual it is for cities to be doing field maintenance and asked <br />how long the fees have been at the rate for 2022. <br /> <br />Interim Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood shared the City of Anoka and <br />Ramsey, in cooperation with the athletic association, agreed that the City would look at increases <br />every other year. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove said with the PACT Charter School there is a specific dedication for <br />their maintenance but the others are based on games. She asked if this is due to a contract with <br />PACT. <br /> <br />Interim Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood said that was correct. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / October 25, 2022 <br />Page 8 of 10 <br /> <br />
