A.
The municipal functions the City Council has determined to be user services and for which the City Council has initially determined the actual costs and the appropriate cost recovery percentage are described in the fee resolution. The cost recovery percentage appropriate for each user service shall be one hundred (100) percent with the exception of the user services listed in Exhibit “A” and those services for which the fee is limited by statute. The City Council may include in the fee resolution a schedule to phase in specific fee increases over a period not to exceed five years.
B. The City Council shall establish, pursuant to the fee resolution, the actual fee or charge for each user service described in the fee resolution. The fee or charge shall be based upon the actual cost of providing the user service, multiplied by the relevant cost recovery percentage.
C. The City Council may, without amending this chapter, modify (increase or decrease) the fee resolution to amend the amount of any fee or charge for, and the actual cost of providing, any user service upon a determination that there has been an increase or decrease in one or more of the cost factors relevant to the calculation of the actual cost of providing that service.
D. The City Council may modify the municipal functions determined to be user services in the fee resolution and the cost recovery percentage for any service only by amending this chapter.
E. Fees for service established in the fee resolution may be waived by:
1. The City Council;
2. The City Manager, up to an amount not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), per occurrence, for fees imposed on nonprofit organizations for nonprofit sponsored events; or
3. The City Manager or the Finance Administrative Services Director/Treasurer up to an amount not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), per occurrence, if the City Manager or Finance Administrative Services Director/Treasurer determines that the imposition of the fee would exceed the actual cost to the City or would result in duplicative fees for services rendered.
