The presentation that was given to the City Council, a draft of the Master Fee and Charges Schedule, and a draft of the City Wide User Fee Study is available on the City's website at the link below: http://www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/government/departments/finance%citywide-user-fees/ Please provide any feedback that you may have by Friday, September 2, 2016.
