Purpose: The purpose of the Study Session is to provide information related to the City’s Fees and Charges Program and review key elements of the 2024-2025 Preliminary General Fund Forecast. The first portion of the Study Session will provide an overview of the Fees and Charges Program, including a review of programs that offer lower or waived fees based on income eligibility, and a review of the Dog and Cat License fee program overseen by Animal Care and Services and the potential to exempt this fee for those meeting income eligibility criteria.
