While many government bodies in San Luis Obispo County canceled their first week of the month meeting because of the Fourth of July, the SLO City Council packed their agenda with controversial content.
In February, SLO City Manager Derek Johnson announced plans to resign his post. Assistant City Manager Whitney McDonald has served as interim city manager since Johnson’s April departure. During closed session on Tuesday, the city council will consider appointing a new city manager, though staff has not provided documentation regarding the item.
With rising salaries and increased costs, many governments in California are looking to increase fees to help balance their budgets. Government staffers review costs of services and then propose raising fees for those services in what is dubbed user fee cost recovery. “The city’s user fee cost recovery policy calls for the city to review and update service charges on an ongoing basis to ensure that they keep pace with changes in the cost-of-living and changes in methods or levels of service delivery,” according to Tuesday’s San Luis Obispo staff report. “State law generally provides that fees for services cannot exceed the reasonable actual costs for providing services.”the city council will discuss huge increases to mutiple city fees.
