Body
DATE: June 17, 2025
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Judith Tangalin, Executive Director of Finance
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2026 Fee Schedule and Increases
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
Throughout the budget process, the City of Killeen prioritizes public input, adhering to the City Charter and Financial Governance Policy. A mandatory public hearing is convened for any ordinance proposing new or increased fines and fees. This hearing serves as a crucial platform for citizens to voice their perspectives and feedback on proposed fees. The City strongly encourages all residents to participate in this process to ensure their voices are heard.
Per the Financial Governance Policy, all fees, except those set by City Council ordinance (e.g., Water and Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Street Maintenance Fees), are listed in the fee schedule. User fees undergo annual review to ascertain full cost recovery levels or benchmark against peer city rates, comparing them to current structures and suggesting necessary adjustments.
The Proposed Fee Schedule was publicly accessible on the City's website from March 28, 2025, to April 30, 2025, with no comments received during this period. Additional outreach was conducted from May 21, 2025, with no specific feedback received on the proposed fees.
The Fee Schedule encompasses all changes, including new fees, adjustments (increases/decreases), deletions, and title revisions. Below is a comprehensive list of proposed fee modifications, categorized by the respective Department/Division.
