Jim Hart, Administrative Services Director, stated the plan for this meeting was to present the information to the City Council, and that it would be up to the Council to make the policy decision as to what fees they want to charge in each of the service areas, and determine the level of fees they want to charge in each of these areas, and at what percentage, and advise staff of this. Mayor Stout suggested a decision matrix be formulated regarding this issue to assist the Council in making a decision for each of the areas to simplify things.
