Per the law, service fees must be cost-based and cannot exceed the cost to provide the service. The Town has not conducted a comprehensive review of its fees in recent years, therefore, the Town engaged Matrix Consulting Group (Matrix) to conduct a comprehensive user fee study. This ordinance is amending the Municipal Code, approval of the updated fee schedule will be presented at a later date.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Introduce and waive the first reading (by title only) of an Ordinance Amending the Loomis Municipal Code to Establish Chapter 3.30 “User Fees” to Title 3 Revenue and Finance of the Loomis Municipal Code.
