TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Ray Maurer, Parks Director DATE: December 6, 2013 RE: Amend Ordinance Section 19 -7.1 to include Boat Launch User Fees within Fee Schedule BACKGROUND Certain fees for the Use of Park Facilities are specified within Section 19- 4(N)(1) of the City's Municipal Code. In order to facilitate review of fees annually, to standardize the treatment of fees across departments and divisions and to make listings of various city fees more easily accessible, the City has been removing fees from various sections of the ordinances and creating fee schedules for various departments and activities. While most of the fees for Use of Park Facilities have already been moved to a fee schedule, upon reviewing Section 19 -7.1 Boat Launch User Fees staff recommends including these in the general fee schedule. The. proposed ordinance will amend the municipal code to allow these fees to be included in the fee schedule for Use of Park Facilities. ANALYSIS The proposed ordinance removes the fees from the ordinance so that they may be incorporated into the fee schedule with other fees related to the use of park facilities. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the proposed ordinance. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance on first reading to allow these fees to be incorporated into the fee schedule also being adopted at the December 10 Council meeting. e' P Respectfully Submitted, A proved; Ray Maurer Mark A.
