Staff has reviewed fees for 2022 and makes recommendations per the attached.  A redline copy of the proposed 2022 fee schedule are included for council's review.

There are no major changes to the fee schedule, most changes proposed are minor adjustments to account for inflation or to align the City's fees with actual costs. All of the fees proposed were considered in the preparation of the 2022 budget.

• Increases premium rate for contracted police services on Black Friday, Christmas Eve and July 4th
• City-affiliated sports associations no longer are assessed participation fees for use of city outdoor athletic spaces
