The ARPA final ruling stated that the funding must be used for the purpose of “enabling the City to provide wholesome homes, a decent living environment and adequate places of employment to City residents," On August 1, 2022, the CDA issued a request for proposals from groups and organizations to identify uses for these funds, with an evaluation of the requests being completed on September 15th. At the Committee of the Whole meeting on September 20th, the City Council expressed an interest in evaluating other ideas, particularly related to potential residential developments in the City. The projects originally recommended for funding by the CDA were: Project Grand Amount Total Recommended HLPC 25.54 $140,000.00 Crossing Lights 24.15 $68,000.00 Fire Dept 23.31 $29,565.00 Telephone Upgrade 23 $32,000.00 Tree Nursery 22.54 $45,000.00 Digital Sign 22.31 100 S.

The Wisconsin Blue-Ribbon Commission on State-Local Partnerships for the 21st Century, more commonly known as the Kettl Commission, reports that “municipalities ought to be encouraged to finance operations, where appropriate, from fee revenue rather than from property taxes or state aids.” The City of Columbus, through it’s various departments, compiles a fee schedule to help fund services. The City’s fee schedule was last updated in 2021 for the 2022 year. Because the fee schedule was updated last year to get caught up, there are only a few minor changes this year. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: • To approve the revised fee schedule for 2023. MISCELLANEOUS ADMINISTRATIVE FEES APPROVED FEE: DEPOSIT REQUIRED: OTHER FEES OR REQUIREMENTS: COPY CHARGES FOR: Black & White - Single Sided $0.25 n/a n/a Black & White - Double Sided $0.50 n/a n/a Color - Single Sided $0.50 n/a n/a Color - Double Sided $1.00 n/a n/a Letter Size $0.25 n/a n/a Legal Size $0.25 n/a n/a 11x17 Size $0.50 n/a n/a FAX (PER PAGE) $2.50/1st pg. n/a $1.00 each additional page RETURNED CHECK FEE/STOP PAYMENT $25.00 n/a n/a WORK PERMITS $10.00 n/a n/a SPECIAL ASSESSMENT/TITLE COMPANY REQUEST FOR PARCEL INFORMATION: Normal Mail/Delivery $40.00 n/a n/a Rush Delivery $60.00 n/a n/a BIKE LICENSES $2.00 n/a n/a LATE FEES 1.5% n/a After 30 days  AQUATIC CENTER APPROVED FEE: DEPOSIT REQUIRED: OTHER FEES OR REQUIREMENTS: MEMBERSHIPS: RESIDENT - FAMILY $220.00 n/a n/a RESIDENT - SINGLE $100.00 n/a n/a RESIDENT - COUPLES $155.00 n/a n/a NON-RESIDENT - FAMILY $245.00 n/a n/a NON-RESIDENT - SINGLE $110.00 n/a n/a NON-RESIDENT - COUPLES $165.00 n/a n/a CAREGIVER PASS - RESIDENT $50.00 n/a n/a CAREGIVER PASS - NON-RESIDENT $60.00 n/a n/a DAY PASSES: WEEKDAY - NONRESIDENT DAYTIME - 12:00 - 5:00 P.M. $6.00 n/a n/a EVENING - 5:00 - 8:30 P.M. $3.00 n/a n/a WEEKEND - NONRESIDENT DAYTIME - 12:00 - 5:00 P.M. $6.00 n/a n/a EVENING - 5:00 - 8:30 P.M. $3.00 n/a n/a WEEKDAY - RESIDENT DAYTIME - 12:00 - 5:00 P.M. $5.00 n/a Proof of residency required EVENING - 5:00 - 8:30 P.M. $3.00 n/a Proof of residency required WEEKEND - RESIDENT DAYTIME - 12:00 - 5:00 P.M. $5.00 n/a Proof of residency required EVENING - 5:00 - 8:30 P.M. $3.00 n/a Proof of residency required RESIDENT - 10 PACK - DAILY ADMISSIONS $45.00 n/a n/a NON-RESIDENT - 10 PACK - DAILY ADMISSIONS $55.00 NON-SWIMMER FEE $1.00 n/a n/a SWIM TEAM - RESIDENT $75.00 n/a CAP $250 PER FAMILY SWIM TEAM - NON-RESIDENT $85.00 n/a CAP $250 PER FAMILY LAP SWIM CARD/AEROBICS - RESIDENT $50.00 n/a n/a LAP SWIM CARD/AEROBICS - NON-RESIDENT $65.00 n/a n/a SWIMMING LESSONS: RESIDENT - MEMBER $40.00 n/a n/a RESIDENT - NON-MEMBER $50.00 n/a n/a NON RESIDENT - MEMBER $50.00 n/a n/a NON RESIDENT - NON-MEMBER $60.00 n/a n/a Full payment due at time of rental. $200 PLUS SALES Refundable if cancelled more than RENTAL OF ENTIRE POOL - PER HOUR FEE TAX $50.00 48 hours before the event.

DODGE COUNTY (dispatching agency) By: (County Clerk) City of Columbus (pmiicipating agency) By: (Mayor Mary Arnold)  2022 AGENDA ITEM Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __ October 4, 2022 ______ Council Meeting date: ____October 18, 2022______ ITEM: _ Dodge County Stray Animal Contract__ DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER: For the past couple of years, the City has contracted with the Dodge County Humane Society for the care and management of stray animals found in the City. From all accounts, the arrangement has worked well. The 2023 proposed contract has been reviewed and compared to the 2022 agreement. The language is the same with the exception a municipality is not given the option of contracting for domestic dogs only; the Police Department would only call about stray dogs. What the contract does allow, however, is bring in a stray cat an officer finds that is sick or injured, or a house cat to "use up" the rest of the contract in the later part of the year if, for example, only 2 dogs have been brought in and a litter of kittens is found. As it has in the past, the agreement allows us to choose the level of service with the Society. Last year, we selected option #1, which includes the drop off of up to 5 domestic stray animals for a lump sum of $1300. Any animal in excess of the 5 would be $300. The Contract for 2023 would show an increase in fees to $1500 lump sum which covers 5 domestic strays and $400 per animal over 5. As a reference, below is a listing of the numbers of stray dogs collected by the Columbus Police Department over the past couple of years. 2022: 0 (ytd) 2021: 1 2020: 2 2019: 3 2018: 3 LIST ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED: Proposed agreement with Dodge County Humane Society for stray animals for 2023 ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Consider and discuss agreement, forward to next Regular meeting September 15, 2022 To our Dodge County Municipal and Law Enforcement Partners, The Dodge County Humane Society remains committed to animal welfare by providing care and shelter to animals throughout Dodge County. Over the past year, DCHS has taken in over 380 animals through stray pick‐up services and law enforcement seizure. In addition, suitable homes were found for all adoptable animals and nearly 100 lost pets were reunited with their owners. Attached please find the stray animal services contract offering for 2023. Due to increased labor, supply and fuel costs, we have had to increase fees for 2023. As we work to encourage municipalities to provide help for more animals, you will notice that the rate increase is lessened as more animals are covered, including no rate change to our top tier option from 2022. Choosing to contract with DCHS benefits your municipality with both time and cost savings. The following are a direct result of the services that we are able to provide:  Local law officials can be relieved of most of the calls and subsequent duties related to stray animals.  Area citizens need not be burdened with the health hazards and safety issues related to stray animals.  Municipalities do not have to house and feed stray animals for five days in order to be in compliance with state statutes.  Owners of lost pets have a consistent and safe place to contact to reclaim their pet. As part of this contract, we make the following commitments to you and your municipality:  We guarantee that all animals will be handled in a humane way.  We will make shelter staff accessible to you at all times. This will include use of our pager system and also personal cell phone numbers of our shelter personnel and Executive Director.  We agree to be the responsible agency and quarantine facility for all domestic animal bite cases. This includes compliance with all state requirements.  We agree to assist your officers with any neglect or abuse calls including both domestic animals and livestock. The Dodge County Humane Society is also happy to work with municipalities that do not feel a contract is right for them. In an effort to provide services for as many animals as possible, we are offering a per animal option. We will accept animals from non‐contracted areas at a cost of $550 per animal, as space permits. This fee helps to offset the costs of any necessary medical care the animal may need. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you and believe that the attached contract accurately summarizes the significant terms of our agreement. The attached contract reflects our best efforts to streamline our services and our strong desire to partner with your municipality. If you agree with the terms as described, please sign the contract and return it to us. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Staff have begun the process of investigating potential partnerships with existing municipal court systems, but at this point have only reached out to the Eastern Columbia County Joint Municipal Court (ECCJMC), which was the system we were part of prior to establishing an independent court. Given the familiarity with the ECCJMC and their operations, we have years of history working together that we can rely on to anticipate future outcomes. We have not reached out to other local municipal courts to gauge their interest, but staff can make those contacts if the Council feels it is beneficial. Based on location, the other Courts that may be worth approaching are Sun Prairie and Beaver Dam, both located about 15-20 minutes away. Because we left the ECCJMC somewhat abruptly, I think it is important to be clear about our intentions, whether that be to approach a single court system, or to conduct a more extensive process of comparing multiple courts. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Determine best course of action to explore our options for a municipal court partnership.  2022 AGENDA ITEM Committee of the Whole Meeting date: ____10/4/2022_______ Council Meeting date: _______________ ITEM:_Administrator’s Proposed 2023 Budget_ DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER: On Tuesday, we will discuss the Administrator’s proposed budget for 2023.
