The FAC has an ugly history of suggesting new fees with no benefit to residents as we see with the 25% increase for commuter parking. It takes taxes to run a village and if those taxes can’t cover the bill, then we have a spending problem. If additional services are added, fees can support them. No where was the FAC suggesting new services, just that our fees were too low. If regulation requires oversight like in the restaurants, then cost recovery is the perfect model. When those fees are silly like landscaping [whch Summitt doesn’t charge for] then kill the fee. An overall cost recovery model on all fees only invites the expansion of fees as a revenue generator. Put a tax on what you wish to limit, suppress or regulate and eliminate the rest. Also, we have a CFO, why is there even still a FAC?
