9. Council Guidance
• Organizational focus on priority services
• User fees vs. Tax revenues
• For future years, begin a “save more, borrow less”
initiative
10. How to Get There
Increase Revenue
One way to help fund these needs is by charging
appropriate amounts in fees like
• User fees;
• Facility rental fees;
• Permit fees.
NOTE – ELRs just over $3 million, just quickly went through and identified have to/need to type items
Identify services which will be priorities for the year (or for any time). Council has told us streets and stormwater are priorities. That means we need to find ways to move money from other functions to address these priorities. Somebody who is not a priority gets less money, probably the citizens have less of that service free up money for high priorities. User fees vs. Tax Revenues – in depth discussion, ex: Permits generates revenue to cover most of their costs, ex: , to remind of benefits of user fees Save More, Borrow Less – implement fee structure (ex: facility fee $1.00 on every transaction), would generate funds for facility issues in future years. Develop list of objectives that need to be satisfied. Minimize cost impact by spreading over as many customers as possible, spread over as many years as possible (before debt issuance and after).
