Master User Fee Schedule and Cost Allocation Updates
Summary
The city updated its 200-plus fees for the first time since 2020: building permits rise to cover rising costs, a general plan fee triples to save up for a roughly $1 million update, and hall rentals and indoor soccer fees go up. Recreation fees still run below actual cost because the general fund subsidizes them.
