Franchise Fees <br /> City Administrator Klaers stated that the City Council requested that the franchise fee public <br /> hearing presentation include information on the City Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) so it is clear <br /> what capital improvements the City plans to complete as well as why the City is exploring options <br /> for generating additional revenues. Accordingly, just under half of the presentation will be <br /> dedicated to the City CIP and the remainder of the presentation will be about franchise fees. He <br /> explained that the information in this report was previously reviewed by the Council at work <br /> sessions in 2013. <br /> City Administrator Klaers reported that the purpose of the public hearing was to present <br /> information on the City CIP and on franchise fees and to receive public feedback on the proposal. <br /> Staff then provided the public with a detailed presentation regarding the CIP and franchise fees <br /> proposal. He explained how the City was no longer generating park dedication funds to assist <br /> with park and trail improvements. It was noted that the proposed franchise fees could assist the <br /> City with improvements in these areas, in addition to street improvement projects. <br /> Assistant City Engineer Anderson reviewed the City's Pavement Management Plan (PMP) and <br /> street projects as proposed for the next 20 years. <br />
