Staff said services cost $4.7 million against $1.9 million in revenue (41% recovery, $2.8 million shortfall, which falls on the road, bridge and stormwater funds). Of 71 services, 56 fees were adjusted, 9 unchanged and 6 new; the proposal reaches about 94% recovery, below 100% because of franchise fee agreements. Council members said the shortfall equals miles of sidewalk or the match for a grant project.
