<br />Council Member Nelson questioned whether fees and permits were determined based on <br />actual administrative costs. Mr. March stated that administrative costs have increased <br />and that is the basis for increasing fees. The City could be challenged iffees and permits <br />do not follow actual expenses. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated he does not understand the fee schedule and suggested <br />Council hold a deeper discussion on this matter at a future date. Mr. March suggested a <br />workshop session and asked that Staff be made aware of any issues the Mayor would like <br />researched. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg questioned whether the current fee schedule would remain in place if <br />this Resolution were tabled for further discussion. Mr. Hoeft indicated the City has a fee <br />schedule that would apply if this new Resolution is not approved. Fees have to have a <br />rational relationship to the costs involved but it is a bit arbitrary as it is very difficult to <br />determine the exact costs for services. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers suggested Mayor Swedberg speak to Staff <br />concerning questions on the fee schedule indicating she did not see the need for an entire <br />workshop on the issue. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson stated she would like to have the Resolution passed to make the <br />increase in park dedication fees effective. She concurred with Mayor Swedberg on <br />having a workshop. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra noted in looking over the fee schedule she noticed there is a <br />dance fee she was unaware of which will apply to the Cub Scout Dance this weekend. <br />Council Member Capra suggested Council adopt the Resolution and revise it at a later <br />time if deemed it appropriate. <br /> <br />Mr. March noted the next quarterly utility billing would be affected if Council waited for <br />approval. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers. seconded bv Council Member <br />Capra to approve Resolution 01-001 as presented. All in favor. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />6. 2001 Appointments (Resolution #01-002) <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked Mr. Hoeft if it were possible to designate a rotating Acting <br />Mayor. Mr. Hoeft indicated it would be permissible to do so, but administratively it may <br />be hard to track. <br /> <br />Consensus was to appoint Council Member Travis as Acting Mayor. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers expressed her desire to continue as Council Liaison <br />to the Planning and Zoning Commission. <br /> <br />Page 14 of 18 <br />
