Please support! City has done well in recent years of requiring fees for services and ensuring fees approximate cost and including automatic inflationary increases. This is important to supplement City resources for many unfunded needs such as road maintenance, workforce housing, KOTS, etc. and to alleviate pressure on raising property taxes. There remain many City services requiring substantial cost of City staff (youth leagues) which do not require fees or where fees are not sufficient to recover cost or where value to users significantly exceeds cost (residential permits). Consider requiring Staff to provide better and more thorough financial support for pricing of fees for services.
