City Council Meeting - Jan 13, 2026
The city wants to raise the Parks Utility Service Fee by $5 a month in January and another $5.20 in July — the first part closes the gap between what the fee brings in and what maintenance actually costs, the second pays the parks share of the Operations Center debt. Council wants more info and public outreach before voting, likely in February.
