Body
DATE: June 4, 2024
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Judith Tangalin, Executive Director of Finance
SUBJECT: FY 2025 Fee Schedule and Increases
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
Throughout the budget process, the City of Killeen ensures that public input is sought and valued. In accordance with the City Charter and Financial Governance Policy, a mandatory public hearing is held for any ordinance that seeks to impose or raise fines or fees. This public hearing plays a vital role as it provides a platform for citizens to express their views and feedback on the proposed fees. The City actively encourages all citizens to take part in this hearing and make their voices heard.
Under the Financial Governance Policy, all fees must be listed in the fee schedule, except for specific rates/fees set by City Council ordinance, such as Water and Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, and Street Maintenance Fees. User fees shall be reviewed annually to calculate their full cost recovery levels or benchmark rates against average peer cities, comparing them to the current fee structure and recommending necessary adjustments. The proposed fees were made available to the public on the City's website from March 28, 2024, until April 30, 2024, and a total of four comments were received.
The Fee Schedule encompasses all changes, including new fees, increased fees, decreased fees, deleted fees, and title changes. The list below shows all proposed fee increases, decreases, and new fees, categorized by the responsible Department/Division.
