a) DISCUSS AND PROVIDE DIRECTION
b) ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 20-0006
A "$.75 cent stipend per customer" isn't a "royalty agreement" or a "stipend." It is a fee or, if you prefer, a tax. If collected, I suggest the proceeds are "lockboxed" against any demonstrated need for additional employees or time needed to administer the fund, instead of just mixing into the general fund to assist in increasing staff salaries. I would prefer that the city concentrate on delivering services more than looking for ways to nickle-and-dime residents.
