Subject: Resolution 2026-020: Aprroving an Update to the City of Seward Fee
Schedule
Background and justification:
In various titles, Seward City Code states that fees shall be set by resolution of the City Council.
These fees are necessary and appropriate to recoup at least a portion of the cost of delivering the
various services and related supplies to the public.
While many of the charges associated with electric, water and sewer utility costs are included in
the tariff; other costs such as permits, inspections, and licenses are not. The 2026 Fee Schedule
represents the costs of services not listed in City Code or the 2026 City of Seward Tariff
documents.
