COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS ADJOURN ,-ADEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: November 27, 2023 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Dave Perrault, City Administrator FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Planning Case 23-022 — Concept Plan Review Mister Car Wash — 3751 Lexington Avenue N. Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: N/A Council Should Consider N/A AGENDA ITEM — 3A Funding Source: N/A Council should consider a request for a Concept Plan Review for the proposed redevelopment of the property at 3751 Lexington Avenue N. ("Subject Property") for the construction of a standalone car wash. Mister Car Wash ("Applicant") is seeking feedback from the City Council on the concept plan in advance of the full submission which would include a land use application for items such as a Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan Review, and Planned Unit Development. The Concept Plan Review process is an opportunity for the City Council to provide comments and questions regarding proposed developments. A concept review is considered advisory and is nonbinding to the City and Applicant (Section 1320.14, Subd 4 of the Zoning Code). No formal action can be taken at a Work Session. A formal application will be subject to the full review process, including a public hearing with Planning Commission and City Council review. Background Mister Car Wash is proposing redevelop the property at 3751 Lexington Avenue N. The property is currently owned by CS&M Arden Hills, LLC and the building was previously occupied by Arby's which closed earlier this year. The Applicant is proposing to demolish the existing building and redevelop the approximate 1.25 acre site. The Applicant proposes to construct an approximately +/- 4,700 square foot conveyor -type, stand-alone express car wash building with the redevelopment including parking, landscaping, utilities, stormwater management, vacuum equipment, signage, and lighting to support the proposed project. The Applicant has indicated they utilize the existing site access. Page 1 of 3 In the B-3 zoning district, proposals for new construction, redevelopment of a site, and significant modifications to existing sites shall use the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process. A PUD promotes the development of land in a unified manner by treating the entire development as a single entity. The purpose of the PUD process is to achieve a higher quality and better project than would otherwise be possible if the strict application of the zoning and subdivision requirements were met. The Subject Property is guided as Commercial (COM) in the Arden Hills 2040 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Chapter. The area is designated for a broad range of retail, shopping, and services to meet the needs of the community and region. Compatible uses such as office buildings are also intended for this area. A development intensity of intensity of up to 0.8 FAR may be allowed. Direction 2040 Comp.

From staff s initial review of the concept site plan it does appear that setback requirements for the B-3 District and parking have been met. However, it should be noted that in Section 1325.05 Subd. 8, E it states "at least fifty percent (50%) of the largest building on each site shall be constructed at the front setback line." The proposed building positioning is approximately 75 feet. City code requires at least 75% of the exterior building materials should be made of brick masonry, tile masonry, natural stone or its synthetic equivalent, decorative concrete plank, transparent glass or any combination thereof. Trim and other accent or decorative features may be metal, wood, split faced block, EIFS, or stucco. Undesirable materials include simulated brick, vinyl or aluminum siding, sheet or corrugated metal siding, plain concrete blocks or panels, brightly colored metal roofing or canopies, pre -cast tilt -up walls, and mirrored or reflective glass. Additionally, businesses within the B-3 District for transparency requirements shall have 50% of all first level building fagades that front a public street comprised of transparent windows or doors in order to allow views of interior uses and activities. The Applicant as part of the concept review has not provided the specific detail on percentage of building materials or transparency. Their narrative indicates that flexibility would not be requested for exterior materials, but may be sought for transparency requirements and signage. Page 2 of 3 Based on an initial review, staff believes the proposal would require the following future land use requests: • Master and Final Planned Unit Development o Including a Sign Standard Adjustment for signage flexibility Site Plan Review • Conditional Use Permit for Car Wash in the B-3 District Budget Impact N/A Attachments A.

The Mister Car Wash development team met with City staff on November 20, 2023 to discuss a proposal to redevelop the existing, closed Arby's restaurant into a new and modern, express tunnel car wash, a plan that will be in harmony with the neighboring development occurring on Lexington Avenue, and be developed in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and City Zoning Ordinances. The proposed redevelopment site is approximately 1.25 acres and will remain under the current Service Business District (B3) zoning. Mister Car Wash proposes to construct an approximately 4,700± square foot conveyor -type, stand-alone express car wash building with the redevelopment including parking, landscaping, utilities, stormwater management, vacuum equipment, signage, and lighting to support the proposed project. The site is accessible from Lexington Avenue via an existing driveway which allows for functional vehicular circulation throughout the car wash site. Mister Car Wash Overview Founded in 1969, Mister Car Wash has grown to become the largest car wash operator in North America with over 460 locations across 21 states, 33 of which are open or under development in Minnesota. The Mister brand is anchored in quality, friendliness, and our commitment to creating memorable customer experiences. We are Inspiring People to Shine everyday by living our values of We Care. We Work Hard. We Have Fun. Mister Car Wash is proud to be building a sustainable future, prioritizing people; culture & community; and water & energy conservation. Our people are what make us successful and allow Mister to achieve our high standards. We focus on recruiting and retaining top talent, developing best -in -class training programs and investing in employees to cultivate a positive company culture. Our team members are the face and heart of our company, and we believe that by making our team members feel cared for, they will pass that feeling onto our customers. Our local communities are an extension of our car wash. We proudly partner with thousands of organizations across the country that align with our goals of inspiring shine, fostering a love of learning and teaching life skills. Our community giving programs take many forms as we find the best way to partner and provide the most impact. Through Inspiring Futures, we support classrooms and teachers. Community giving is hyper -local, giving back to organizations supporting the communities around our stores. To date, these programs have helped raise more than $3 million. Additionally, Mister Cares Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public foundation, provides financial assistance to our team members. Being good stewards of the environment is also a priority at Mister Car Wash. We partner with Project Wet to help bring awareness to the benefits of conserving water within the car wash industry. Within our own new -build stores, we can proudly claim to use over 50% reclaimed/recycled water within the wash process, as well as reducing our freshwater usage by 25% due to our proprietary system design. Additionally, our in-house water team, a combination of chemists, engineers and water quality specialists, continually innovate and improve systems to be responsible stewards of water. These innovations include proprietary cleaning products which are free of phosphates and dyes as well as reclamation systems to ensure the water we return to the municipal system is as clean as possible. The operation of our facilities begins with the welcoming wave received as you approach the point - of -sale canopy, where a Customer Service Attendant greet customers. The Mister Car Wash business model is unique in that over 80% of customers are Unlimited Wash Club members. UWC members have an RFID sticker on their windshield that is automatically scanned as they pull into the designated member lanes. This system efficiently keeps vehicles moving through the site as members are not stopping to pay during each visit — reducing wait times and queuing. Non - subscription customers are assisted by the Customer Service Attendant to select a wash and help to efficiently keep the queue moving forward. Once past the point -of -sale, vehicles are guided into the car wash tunnel. Mister Car Wash operates conveyor tunnels that are designed to wash multiple cars at a time, allowing for a steady stream of customers moving through. Once through the tunnel, customers have the choice of continuing to the self -serve vacuum stalls or exiting the site. The Mister Car Wash express wash model allows us to efficiently operate our facility, with approximately 15 total team members and 3-4 on site at any time. Dedicated support infrastructure provides maintenance, HR, finance, marketing, safety, real estate, development and construction, all based in our Minneapolis Regional Office. Mister Car Wash takes pride in the physical plant as well, reinvesting over $150,000 annually, on average, per location to ensure a bright, clean and flawless experience for our customers. In addition, maintenance technicians supervise 2-3 stores to keep our store equipment running at peak performance. Our team members have a routine cleaning schedule they follow to ensure the store always presents in the best condition. Building Materials The building design has been enhanced from the prototypical Mister Car Wash building to achieve a 75% Class I material requirement as required by local code. The proposed building materials consist of Stone Veneer, Brick Veneer, EIFS and Metal Panels. Typically, as designed, the proposed materials and colors meet City Ordinances and provide a visually appealing and modern appearance. In addition, two 35' high roof elements are proposed on either end of the building, providing visual cues for customers to the entrance and exit of the tunnel. The building fagade facing Lexington Avenue houses the car wash tunnel exit and the mechanical equipment room. This space does not readily allow for windows, so Mister Car Wash proposes to provide a 14'-0" Wide x 10'-3" High, Rytec Sprial FV High Performance Vision Glass roll -up door, providing approximately 160 sf of glass or approximately 30% of the fagade. To meet the intent of Section 1325.05 Subd. 8(F)(5), the balance of the fagade provides aesthetic interest at the upper level of the building through the addition of metal panels, metal trim, curved roof forms, a decorative canopy and building articulation and roof line breaks. Signage Mister is proposing to provide a monument sign along Lexington Avenue which will be harmonious with the building architecture and meet City zoning standards as to size. We respectfully request a variance to allow additional building wall signage totaling approximately 425 square feet. In addition, Mister proposes directional signage throughout the site to help customers safely navigate the property. There is an additional approximately 160 square feet of canopy and wall signage on the west, interior facing side of the site which has not been included in the above numbers as it is not visible from the public right-of-way. Parking Mister Car Wash proposes 18 vacuum stalls measuring 13' wide x 18' deep. Customers utilize these stalls to park and vacuum their vehicles before or after a wash, as well as overflow employee parking. We propose 3 standard parking stalls on the west end of the site for primary employee parking. As an express wash facility, most customers have little need to enter the building, so turnover of the vacuum stalls is high and the need for long term parking is low. Conclusion Mister Car Wash believes the proposed use will help the City of Arden Hills revitalize and beautify a currently underused site in the heart of the renewed business district. We look forward to and appreciate your thoughts and considerations as we look to welcome Mister Car Wash to Arden Hills in 2025. Please contact me at (763) 360-8963 with any questions.

Public Works Director / City Engineer SUBJECT: Metropolitan Council — Private I & I Grant Program Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: N/A Council Should Consider N/A Funding Source: MCES Council should consider applying for the Metropolitan Council's Private I & I Grant Program. Background City staff received direction from City Council to research the Metropolitan Council's (MCES) Private I & I Grant Program. This is separate from the MCES "Public" I & I Grant Program that the City already participates in. The 2024 Private I & I Grant Program is a "Pilot" year for Met Council. It will provide $1.5 million in wastewater revenue to provide grants to private property owners to help with repairs that will remove and prevent clear water from entering the wastewater treatment system. The Minnesota Legislature amended statute 471.342 to allow the Met Council to provide grant funding to local municipalities to assist private property owners with costs associated with repairing sewer infrastructure on their property. The City of Arden Hills is 1 of 81 other municipalities that are eligible for the program. The program would reimburse a private property owner 50% of the construction costs up to $5,000. For more detailed information, the Met Council program webpage can be visited here: https:Hmetrocouncil. org/Wastewater-Water/Funding-Finance/Available-Funding-Grants/Private- Property-Inflow-and-Infiltration-Grants. aspx Page 1 of 2 To participate, City staff will need to complete the application process which is a straight forward process. There is an equity component that the City can choose to create and implement on its own, but since this is a "pilot" and with very limited funding spread out over many Cities along with the short timeline to apply, staff recommends skipping that portion until a future program opportunity. Community outreach and communication will also be a required and a necessary component that staff will need to create and implement. A resolution from Council confirming the Public Works Director has authority and certification that they have read the program guidelines and support participation in the program must be submitted. Staff has reviewed historical sewer repair permits over the past 3 years and there is an average of 20 repairs per year. Recent data from MCES suggests an average lining cost per sewer service is $8,000. City staff recommends applying for $80,000 based off of that information but Council should keep in mind that if, for example 40 cities apply for funds, that would be $37,500 per City. So, the requested amount is limited to funding availability between all of the eligible cities. The award amount will be sent out by December 29, 2023 which then would be followed by a Grant Agreement approved by City Council to receive the funds from Met Council. Once the agreement is finalized, communications would go out to the Arden Hills' residents and administering the funds would be facilitated through the Sewer Permitting process. The permit applicant will have to provide documentation to verify a need for I & I repair/improvement. This could be a video or televising report from a contractor that indicates the issue. Staff would review the documentation provided then determine the award amount based off the total project cost. Met Council has a spreadsheet that's required to track each project which is then submitted quarterly. Discussion If the City Council wishes to participate in the MCES I & I Grant Program, staff will bring forward a resolution for adoption at the next available regular Council meeting and apply for the program by December 151n Staff had initially reported to Council that they believed this would be difficult to implement with the City's current staffing. Staff still believes this is true as this is a new program, so the initial start up and creation of standard procedures will take some time before it becomes routine. With the relatively small amount of funds available from Met Council, the number of private properties that would be able to take advantage of the program will be low which will help make this manageable. There is significant demand for this type of program, Staff believes after this "pilot" year, Met Council will push to get a much larger amount of funds for future years and that will in turn create more work load for staff but that can be discussed when and if that time comes. Budget Impact This program is funded through Metropolitan Council, so there is no direct budget impact. Attachments Attachment A — MCES Private I & I Program Guidelines Page 2 of 2 Attachment A METROPOLITAN C O U N C I L PRIVATE PROPERTY INFLOW & INFILTRATION GRANT PROGRAM Grant Requirements, Guidelines & Timeline — 2024 Information The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (Met Council, ES) is implementing a private property inflow and infiltration (1/1) grant program beginning January 2024. The goal of the program is to assist private property owners with financial assistance to remove 1/1 from the regional interceptor system through repairs of the sewer lateral or foundation drain on the property. ES has committed to assigning funds every year from the PayGo fund for this grant program. Council Guidelines Eligible Municipalities Eligible municipalities include those that have been designated excessive 1/1 contributors by the Met Council or that have had a measurable flow rate within 20 percent of the permitted flow limit. Eligible Work • Grants to private property owners shall be for a percentage of actual, reasonable, and verifiable 1/1 mitigation costs. No costs of studies, engineering, or planning shall be eligible. • Grant reimbursement shall be 50% of eligible costs, up to $5,000, for applicants not meeting equity criteria set by the participating municipalities. Eligible work includes: o Private lateral repair and/or replacement o Foundation drain disconnections and new sump pump, if associated with the foundation drain disconnect o Lateral televising and cleaning costs if: ■ Applicant meets the equity criteria or ■ Televising and cleaning result in repair or replacement of sewer lateral • Grants of up to $10,000 may be given to private property owners meeting the municipality's equity criterion. • The private service line or foundation drain must be active and serving an occupied building. • All repairs and replacements must be made with materials and methods consistent with local codes and permit requirements. • Qualified spending on eligible work must occur between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024. Grant Process Application • ES will notify all eligible municipalities and request grant applications. • Eligible municipalities will apply for the program and request a total grant amount for anticipated grant reimbursement to private property owners. • Applying municipalities must submit the Application for Participation and a resolution from City Council authorizing application and execution of the grant. • After all applications are received, ES will review requested grant amounts for proposed work and encumber a grant amount for each participating municipality. It is anticipated that more Page - 1 grant funds will be requested than what is available, meaning applicants may not receive their full request. Grant awards will be encumbered to each municipality by this process: o Half of the available grant funds will be divided equally among participants. o The remaining half will be distributed to participants based on the size of their grant request. Municipalities will be informed of their total grant amount for the program year at the start of the program year. ES will send grant agreements to municipalities for signature and, upon return, will sign, and will create purchase orders payable to the applicant municipality. Signed agreements and application must be returned to ES prior to participation in the program. Reporting Requirements and Reimbursement Each quarter, municipalities will submit the PPII Reporting Form Excel workbook of work completed, invoices, and certificates of completeness to certify the work for each grant was done and records auditable. Only one grant per property may be awarded. o ES has provided a list of verified Metropolitan Council Underutilized Business (MCUB) contractors able to perform water and sewer work (attached). It is not required to use the contractors on that list, but it is provided as an option. More information on the Met Council MCUB program can be found here: https://metrocouncil.org/About-Us/What-We- Do/DoingBusiness/Small-Business-Programs/mcub.aspx ES will review the PPII Reporting Form Excel workbook and supporting documentation and issue grant reimbursement. Municipalities have until March 31 of the following year to submit all paperwork for work performed during the program year. Any funds encumbered to a municipality and not spent during the program year will remain in ES's PayGo fund. The Council reserves the right to change these guidelines if, in its sole discretion, the results of the process do not equitably allocate the funds. Equity Component Thrive MSP 2040 is the Met Council's vision for the region through the year 2040. It reflects concerns, needs, and aspirations for the region and addresses our responsibility to future generations. Thrive MSP 2040 has five outcomes that reinforce and support each other to produce greater benefits for the region. Those outcomes are Stewardship, Prosperity, Equity, Livability, and Sustainability. Thrive MSP 2040 provides the following definition of equity: "Equity connects all residents to opportunity and creates viable housing, transportation, and recreation options for people of all races, ethnicities, incomes, and abilities so that all communities share the opportunities and challenges of growth and change. For our region to reach its full economic potential, all of our residents must be able to access opportunity. Our region is stronger when all people live in communities that provide them access to opportunities for success, prosperity and quality of life." (Metropolitan Council, 2014). The equity component of allowing grant reimbursement up to a $10,000 cap for private property owners meeting a municipality's equity criterion is one way equity is incorporated into this program. It is acknowledged that each municipality has different equity considerations and knows the needs of their residents the best; therefore, it is up to the municipality to determine if a resident has an equity need and up to the municipality to determine the resident's final grant award, up to $10,000. If a repair is higher than the program cap of $10,000, options, among others, to cover that cost include a municipality match, assessing the property for the remaining amount, or requesting payment from the resident. The means of collection are up to each municipality. Be advised, if grant awards are paid directly to the private property owner, it is recommended to speak with a tax professional, as the municipality may have to provide a 1099 tax form.

Page - 3 1 METROPOLITAN COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM — 3C 'It ,ARZEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: November 27, 2023 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator SUBJECT: City Council Meeting Scheduling for 2024 Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: N/A N/A N/A For Council Consideration The City Council should consider providing direction on the 2024 City Council meeting schedule. Background The City Council has traditionally held three official meetings per month, City Council Regular Meetings on the second and fourth Monday of the month and a City Council Regular Worksession on the third Monday of the month. Note, these do not include committee/commission or other meetings associated with City Councilmember duties. This past October and November the City Council cancelled its normal worksession and instead held special worksessions prior to the regular meetings, eliminating the third Monday of the month meeting. Staff is seeking direction on how Council would like to proceed in 2024. The City Code does specify the meeting schedule, so permanent changes would require a code amendment. Lastly, Council will want to consider if it does cancel one regular meeting a month in the first quarter of the year, how will that affect any newly proposed schedule. That said, Council may want to consider cancelling one meeting a month in the first quarter of 2024 and decide in February/March how it wants its meeting cadence for the rest of the year. Below are some options to consider: Make no changes to the meeting schedule and proceed as specified in City Code (three meetings a month). o Meeting cadence: second Monday of the month Council Meeting, third Monday of the month worksession, fourth Monday of the month Council meeting. • Temporarily cancel one meeting per month in the first quarter and reassess in February or March (two meetings per month). Traditionally, Council has cancelled the second meeting of the month and still held the worksession on the third Monday. One additional Page 1 of 2 piece to this is if Council wanted to cancel one of the regular meetings and bump the worksession to that day, thus spreading out the meetings. It might be worthwhile in this situation to continue to have special worksessions before the regular Council meeting to give additional time for discussion on Council items (this is essentially what I propose in further detail below). Jessica will speak to some of the planning implications if we go this route. o Meeting cadence: one regular meeting and one worksession. • Cancel the worksession and continue to have the two regular meetings with worksessions prior (two meetings per month). While this option has been working, Staff does have a concern that starting at 5:30 PM may not work for longer items throughout the year. City Administrator Input: the goal of this is to permanently cut out one meeting per month that Staff and Council have to attend with the understanding that this may not always be the case and depending on workload, that special meetings and one-off events will happen. One option to seriously consider is having one regular Council meeting a month (let's say the fourth Monday of the month), which is thought of as the formal meeting where we have public hearings, make decisions on New Business and take care of other public business at the dais. I would still propose we keep a short worksession prior to this meeting to discuss items as needed. I would then propose a worksession on the second Monday of the month that is similar to the current worksession, start time of 5:00 pm (or whatever Council decides) and is capped at three hours. I would then propose a standing in -formal meeting after this (or before) where Council approves items only applicable to the consent calendar (i.e. a five minute meeting). This will ensure we can still get routine items approved in a timely fashion. Regardless of the route the City Council would like to go, we'll need direction on what, if any, changes will be needed to be brought forward for approval for 2024. Budget Impact N/A Attachment N/A Page 2 of 2 AGENDA ITEM — 3D ,-ARZEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: November 27, 2023 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Dave Perrault, City Administrator FROM: Julie Hanson, Assistant to the City Administrator/City Clerk SUBJECT: Draft 2024 Fee Schedule Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: Council Should Consider Council should consider providing feedback on the proposed 2024 draft fee schedule. Background/Discussion The City Council annually establishes a fee schedule for administrative, building construction, liquor licensing, park and recreation facility usage, planning and zoning, utilities, business licenses, utility fees, and other miscellaneous permits and penalties that are enforced by the City. The following recaps the fee schedule changes that were made in 2023: • Building permit and plan review fees — Fees were based on 2022 Minnesota State Statutes 326B.153 and 326B.148. • Building Plan Review fees were based on 2022 Statute as well and the escrow fee for residential new construction/additions was changed from a flat fee of $2,000 to "To Be Determined by the Building Official", affording the City more latitude to cover costs of items that are no longer readily accessible or that have costs that have dramatically increased. • Electrical fees increased and Pete Tokle of Tokle Inspections also changed his fee structure so that commercial fees are based on valuation, similar to building permits. He noted that fees would be easier to calculate and the structure would eliminate the need to increase future commercial fees. • Parks and Recreation — There were no changes in 2023. • Planning and Zoning — There were no changes in 2023. • Public Works/Engineering — Inflationary increases were made to fees for right-of-way, right- of-way small cell wireless facilities and also sewer and grading and erosion control permit fees. • Utility Hookup Charges — Inflationary increases were made for water and sewer permits, reinspection fees, connection/disconnection fees, restoration and hydrant meter rentals. Page 1 of 3 Utility Use Charges — Increases in 2023 were as follows: 4% sanitary sewer rates only. No changes to water or surface (storm) water were made. Recycling — Fees for curbside recycling remained the same in 2023 as they were in 2022 — there were no increases. The below information outlines changes recommended to the fee schedule for 2024. Proposed changes to the fee schedule are noted in red print on the attached draft 2024 Fee Schedule. Explanations for these proposed changes are provided below. Building Construction (Sec. II) Building fees will be based on 2023 Minnesota State Statutes 326B.153 and 326B.148. This is standard — fees are adopted using the prior year's statute pertaining to these fees. There are no changes proposed for electrical permits from Pete Tokle. Parks & Recreation (Sec. V) Staff is requesting that verbiage be clarified by adding "non-profit" to the Youth Athletic Association Field Rentals and also requests clarification of applicable sales tax for every type of rental (fields, pavilions, rooms at City Hall). The language on the current fee schedule is confusing regarding whether or not the referenced fee includes tax. By having uniform language pertaining to tax for all rentals as noted above, this makes it clear that in addition to the fee, the City will collect from the applicant the appropriate tax amount in addition to the base fee. Planning and Zoning (Sec. VI) There are no proposed changes to this section. Public Works/Engineering (Sec. VII) There are no proposed changes to this section. Utility Hookup Charges (Sec. VIII) Staff proposes housekeeping changes to include deleting reference to Restoration of Typical Road Mix Street and Higher -Type Street as this is redundant and covered under the escrow collected with a Right -of -Way permit, as well as including the fee for a reinspection during regular business hours for both Water and Sewer under the base permit language since the fee is the same ($60) (versus having the reinspection fee as its own line item). There are no increases to hydrant or water meters for 2024. Miscellaneous Fees/Permits (Sec. XI) Council previously inquired about the fees for violations pertaining to tobacco sales. 2023 fees are as follows: $300 (first offense), $600 (second offense within 36 months) and $1,000 and not less than a 7 business day suspension and may be revoked (third offense) and these fees mirror Minnesota Statute 461.12, Subd. 2. While the City cannot charge less than State statute (which is the minimum), it can set higher fees per authorization in Minnesota Statute 461.19 which allows a city to enact more restrictive local ordinances. Staff requests Council provide direction on whether or not it wants to increase the fees related to violations. Utility Use Charges (Sec. XIV) An increase to sanitary sewer (3.0%) and surface water (5%) fees are recommended. No changes to water fees are proposed. Page 2 of 3 Recycling Fee (Sec. Xis The City Council adopted Resolution 2023-050 at its October 23, 2023 meeting. The approved amounts for 2024 recycling fees include an increase from $58.00 to $60.00 for a residential parcel with curbside recycling service. The fee for residential recycling without curbside recycling will remain the same at $3.50 per residential unit.
