PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
None
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
The 2026 proposed fee schedule is included in the packet for the Council to review. The fee schedule is
split out by department for ease of scanning through the fees. Changes are in red.
The Water and Sewer usage rates are still being reviewed with Waterworth, our contractor for
financial analysis of the funds. The proposed water/sewer usage rate changes in the draft fee
schedule are based on the 2024 analysis of the funds.
Below are discussion items for the proposed changes.
Administration:
~Assessment Fees – propose increases to keep up with labor rates and certification fees. Central MN
cities are charging over $100 certification fees for delinquent accounts.
~Collection Charges – propose increase to help cover legal fees for contested cases
~Labor Rate increase to $72 based on average pay and benefits for 2026. This increases fees in other
areas throughout the fee schedule.
Fire:
~Dama Box proposed to increased based on cost from vendor.
~Pool Fill water fees proposed to increase the same as the bulk water fees under the utility rates.
Police:
~Administrative Hearing Fee – propose increase to help cover legal fees for contested cases
Planning-Zoning:
~Redevelopment TIF Escrow Fees – fee to cover city’s cost to determine if a property qualifies for a
redevelopment TIF. Unused escrow fees will be returned to the applicant.
Licenses & Permits:
~ Special Event Escrow – charge for staff time to block off roads, move picnic tables, etc. for event
Rentals:
~Bike Share Fee – program discontinued in Aug. 2025
~Soccer Fields – consolidated rental fee to just summer period
~Adult Softball – increase fee for concessions and field prep to cover city costs
~Schneider Field Fees – Changes to cover costs to maintain fields and future improvements
Building: There are no proposed changes for 2026. Costs are recovered with the current fees.
Utility Rates:
~ Refuse/Recycling – fees proposed to increase with the Republic Services contract (through 2026)
~ Sewer – Waterworth rate analysis still ongoing. Presentation coming in Nov workshop
~ Water – Waterworth rate analysis still ongoing. Presentation coming in Nov workshop
~ Street Light Utility rates are proposed to stay the same. The fund has a
sufficient reserve to postpone increases in 2026 and buy down the reserves.
~ Stormwater Rates proposing a slight increase to ensure fund can cover MN and US regulations. Rates
have not increased in the past several years. We have been buying down reserve balances.
Utility Fees:
~ Bulk Water/Sewage Dumping -increases due to water/sewer usage rate increases proposed.
~Interim Meter Reading – increase to proposed labor rate fee.
~Cellular Interim Meter Read – staff can read these meters from city hall versus sending out Public
Works staff to get an electronic read. Proposing a lower rate
~Cellular Meter Read Head – increased fee due to costs from vendor
Compensation:
~Fire Department- The pension rate of $4,600 was approved by Council in September
BUDGET IMPACT
Proposed fees were incorporated into the 2026 draft budget revenue numbers.

Conditional Use Permit Discussion – KAB Land LLC
ACTION REQUESTED KAB Land, LLC is seeking direction from Council on what the Council considers
proper utility extension requirements and if well/septic is possible in regards to their C.U.P.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council approved the C.U.P. on November 20th, 2023.
An extension request was approved in 2024 which extended the C.U.P. an extra year to November 20th, 2025.
To-date no progress has been made on the C.U.P. (execution of Development Agreement still needs to occur,
site plan submittals, permit submittals, etc.)
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
Staff reached out to KAB Land LLC (applicant and owner Ken Bellicott) to remind them of the upcoming
expiration of their C.U.P. (expires on Nov. 20th) for their Special Event facility. During the discussion Mr.
Bellicot indicated they are not inclined to move forward due to the required utility extension placed on his
C.U.P.. When originally approved in 2023 it was the intent of the Council at that time to require water/sewer
extension to Mr. Bellicots site and installation of a right-turn lane.
After speaking with staff Mr. Bellicot believed it was a good idea to come to the Council Work session to
discuss with Council. Since 2023 the Council makeup has changed with two new Councilors and a new
Mayor so it’s possible a new perspective exists among Council regarding the proper utility extension.
Please note the owners still need to execute the Development Agreement with the City. All conditions in the
original C.U.P. resolution are still active this request is only for discussion and direction about proper utility
extension. This discussion will help Mr. Bellicot determine if he wishes to seek another C.U.P. extension,
move forward with the project, or abandon the project at this location.
