Background Summary of Proposed Fee Update
• In furtherance of Council policy, the fee study aligns revenues with the
actual (direct and indirect) costs of providing services.
• Each department gets "studied"' every 3-5 years whereby fees are
updated to the costs of providing services.
• Proposed fees are better defined to reflect the nature of work performed.
• All fees not studied are updated by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
