Council Agenda Item 6
MEETING DATE: December 4, 2017
AGENDA ITEM: Public Hearing - 2018 Fee Schedule
SUBMITTED BY: Finance
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Council met in November to review the fee schedule. Council
approved parking and ordinance tiered fees for the police department.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A public hearing is required under State Statutes prior to
changing the fee schedule. Staff published a public hearing notice in the November 24, 2017 St. Joseph
Newsleader. The proposed fee schedule was available for public viewing.
Fees proposed to change are highlighted in yellow. A few of the changes are described below. The Nov.
th
20 council agenda described each change and is available on the City’s website.
City Council adopted a three-tiered fee increase for the liquor fees in Dec. 2015. There will be scheduled
increases through 2018. Liquor license holders had the opportunity to discuss the increases at a public
hearing and were notified of the council’s decision.
The City contracts with C&L Excavating for composting. Residents from the City of St. Joseph, City of St.
Cloud, St. Wendel Township and St. Joseph Township are allowed to use the site. C&L requested
th
increasing permit fees to help them break even. Council discussed options at their Nov. 20 council
meeting. The fee schedule represents increasing fees to continue using the C&L compost site.
Rental registration is proposed to change to more fairly charge rental fees between large and small
structures. The charges are more equitable per unit fees under the proposed rates and more
adequately equate to costs incurred by the City. Staff calculated the 2018 revenue and comes in very
close to the 2017 permit fees.
Finally, staff is proposing an increase in the water and sewer fees based on the recommendations made
by Carl Brown Consulting in early 2016 and staff’s comprehensive review of the utilities. To offset the
increases in the water/sewer fees, staff recommends reducing the storm water fees due to reserves in
the fund. Refuse for a 60 gallon cart is proposed to decrease based on recent contract extension costs
and reserves in the refuse fund. The charges versus costs incurred between cart sizes are more
equitable between users. Street light utilities are suggested to increase to cover costs. The fund does
not have a significant reserve balance. The chart on the next page summarizes the water and sewer bill
impact for a St. Joseph resident compared to other area communities. Other utility fees were left out
since each community has different funding sources for those services.
