3.0 REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS
3.6 Discuss and consider approval of a resolution amending the previously
approved Master Fee Schedule providing for changes to the Senior Center
activity and facility use fees (Nelson/Sprinkle)
Pam Nelson advised that five options have been prepared for council
consideration as follows:
Option A- leave as is at $10 for residents and $20 for non-residents (per year)
Option B- changing the usage fee, to $5 per year for residents and $25 per year for
non-residents
Option C- no cost for residents and $20 for non-residents
Option D- PARR bus usage fee includes various scenarios
Option E- no fees for residents or non-residents this budget year
Pam added that Option D is for usage of the city bus only because on some trips a
charter bus is used (provided by the Casinos so no cost except a gratuity is
involved.)
Councilmembers Harris and McCourry stated they are in favor of Option E, and
Councilmember Mikulec said he prefers Option C.
Citizen Sue Walden, who is president of the Senior Citizens group, asked how the
fees will be kept track of. She added that she agrees that the cost of trips should
be paid for by those going, but added that some will likely drop out (non-
residents). Don Brody added that he goes to the center in Carrollton and all he
pays is $5 per year, the same as the Carrollton residents do. He said that the trip
fees should cover all costs involve. Allyson Sprinkle of the Senior Center said
that at present, trip participants only pay for the activity, not for the driver's pay
or the gas.
Motion to accept Option E for this budget year, also to direct staff to work on policies
and procedures for next budget year, and also that the staff and director work to
ensure that trips taken on the city bus are self sufficient as far as costs- Harris;
second by Schrag; motion passed with all ayes.
3.5 Discuss and consider approval of a resolution authorizing a fuel surcharge
and franchise fee increase at the request of IESI (Gilman)
Terry Gilman, recycling coordinator, told the council that Mike Wilson with IESI
was present to answer any questions on this request. Mr. Wilson told the Council
that diesel fuel has almost doubled in price and he is requesting a twenty-five cent
per household adjustment (per month.) He also stated that the CPI increase in
June is not covering the costs of fuel for the trucks.
Several options and amounts were discussed among Council, with most stating
they don't want the city to collect any additional franchise fees associated with
this fuel surcharge. City attorney Bob Hager told the council the franchise fee is a
