In a study session, the Council reviewed User Fees for Cost of Services. This was a major study done by Matrix Consulting Group that examines cost recovery in City departments.
Here’s a chart that shows what they learned:
About $12.4 million of the subsidy is in Recreation. Water has a subsidy of $3.7 million. Fire is at $1.5 million and Planning has a $1.8 million subsidy.
In the summer, the Council deleted 56 fees and adopted 28 new fees for the Phase I Municipal Fee review. A detailed list of deleted and new fees for Phase II will be on the November 19, 2019 report to Council.
