The attached Resolution for Council consideration sets those fees, <br />rates, and charges for 2018. In Exhibit A to the Resolution, all changes from current fees, <br />rates, and charges are highlighted in red. Changes to utility fees made during 2017 have <br />been noted in Exhibit A by highlighting the 2017 Resolution number. <br />In addition to those fees approved by Council through Resolution, Council, through <br />Ordinance 1603, Series 2011, also authorized the City Manager to set certain fees, rates, <br />and charges not otherwise set by the City Council. The fees set by the City Manager <br />include such things as fees for photo copies, maps and documents, development <br />application reviews, and recreation classes, rental rates for various facilities, and charges <br />for cemetery plots and services. The City Manager sets these fees and charges to recover <br />costs and defray expenses and not as a mechanism for raising revenue. Also attached is <br />a listing of fees the City Manager is setting for 2018. All changes from current fees, rates, <br />and charges are in red. <br />The fees, rates, and charges approved by City Council through Resolution and those set <br />by the City Manager are published on the City's website. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />As a whole, charges for services make up a significant portion of the City's revenue. <br />However, the overall fiscal impact of the changes proposed in this resolution is relatively <br />minimal because they represent relatively minor changes to mostly smaller fees. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. , Series 2017. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1.
