The City Council discussed and ultimately approved a resolution to amend the comprehensive fee schedule. This involved adjusting utility fees to reflect 2026-27 rates, adding new fees for zone of benefit applications and assessments, removing fees associated with broadband services (as they are no longer offered), and introducing rental fees for the covered outdoor event space at the Middlefield Golf Course for non-golf-related activities. Council members raised questions about the impact of utility fee increases on residents, particularly seniors, and discussed existing programs to assist those in need.
