Sonora, CA — The Sonora City Council will review a proposal that would bring the city an estimated $68,000 in additional revenue by increasing various fees paid for services provided by the city.

For example, it would increase the cost of copies, credit card processing, and several types of permits and inspections.

You can find a rundown of all of the fees that would go up by clicking here.  

The meeting documents note that fees have not been updated recently and that “adjustments of the fee schedules are necessary to maintain service levels without compromising fiscal health.”

The city notes that the goal is to better match the cost of providing the service with the amount of money it takes to provide it.

In addition, there will be a presentation today from the Central Sierra Economic Development District about the Sierra Jobs First Program being developed, and a presentation on efforts to recruit new officers from Police Chief Turu VanderWiel.

The open-to-the-public meeting will begin at 5 pm at Sonora City Hall.
