2. USER FEE STUDY
Director of Finance Jason AI-Iman and Willdan Consultant Tony Thrasher provided
a PowerPoint presentation.
A comprehensive User Fee Study was conducted to determine the current cost of
providing services and to ensure that user fees and charges do not exceed the costs
of providing services. Industry best practices recommend that a comprehensive
review of cost of services and fees be performed every three to five years. The City's
user fees and charges have not been updated since 2008, and as a result, costs
have increased over time while user fees and charges have remained unchanged.
The scope of the study did not include a review of taxes, development impact fees, or
utility rates.
The Council unanimously received and filed the User Fee Study.
