There being no one to speak to this matter, Mayor Dietz <br />closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wagner asked for clarification on the rink glass fee and the new restaurant manager <br />background check fee, which Mr. Stremcha explained that the original tempered rink glass will be sold <br />as individual panes, instead of a bulk sale, which was very undervalued in the public auction. Ms. Allard <br />stated that the new manager background investigation is outlined in the city code, but had not <br />previously been charged a fee. The fee covers the staffing cost to do the background check when a <br />restaurant or store changes general managers, which is required by law for the licensee. <br /> <br />Moved by Councilmember Calva and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt <br />Ordinance 25-16 approving the 2026 Master Fee Schedule.
