Building Official Szykulski stated that he cannot speak to this as it was set by the engineering <br /> department. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked about the difference between the items that are escrow and the <br /> items that have permits. <br /> Building Official Szykulski explained that all of the funds will be returned for the escrow items if <br /> they are not used. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked about the PACT Charter School fee going up and if this covers <br /> costs. <br /> Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood explained that this charge originated to <br /> provide a small amount of maintenance to offset what occurred in the park that was shared by the <br /> community and the athletic association. He noted that they patterned this same charge for the new <br /> facility next to Central Park and made the fee per field. He added that PACT has agreed to these <br /> fees. He explained that this fee was indexed from the original fee that was established back in 2006 <br /> with a 5% increase every year. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated that if PACT could have the private sector do this and <br /> considering the understaffing,then she would like to see that they are at least getting ample funding <br /> for this. She added that she does not want this to be a detriment to the City. <br /> Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood noted that this is just a flat fee that <br /> recognizes the broad spectrum of maintenance that occurs at Central Park. He added that they still <br /> pay separately for the dragging and striping of the fields. <br /> City Administrator Hagen added that they would have this maintenance anyway. <br /> Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood reiterated that all the work being done <br /> would still be done regardless of PACT. <br /> Building Official Szykulski explained that they did adjust the septic fees and added that they may <br /> need to contract out work for the biggest systems that the inspectors are not trained on. He added <br /> that solar panels were also added to this list as a fixed fee. <br /> Community Development Director Hanson reiterated that they added the septic `other' system fee. <br /> Building Official Szykulski reviewed the 2024 building valuations and how this affects the fee <br /> schedule. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked if this went from a 4% cost of the value down to about 3% cost <br /> of the value. He asked if the value has increased if the developer would be paying less than they <br /> would have before. <br /> City Council Work Session/ October 24, 2023 <br /> Page 3 of 9 <br />
