The Stafford City Council approved several routine administrative items on Sept. 29, adopting a consolidated fee schedule for fiscal 2025–26, a 2026 holiday observation schedule and the police‑department classification and salary chart for 2025–26.

The fee schedule vote followed questions about implementation: staff confirmed departments are responsible for applying the council‑adopted fees and that website postings are updated by administration. During public comment and council Q&A, one councilmember and staff noted the mobile‑home park permit fee—currently $50 per park—was likely too low relative to inspection workload. Council asked staff to move that line item to code enforcement for additional analysis and to return with an amendment or recommendation.

The council also adopted the 2026 holiday observation schedule and approved no changes to the police classification and pay chart as proposed.

Votes and actions: The motions to approve the fee schedule, the holiday schedule and the police classification chart were made and approved during the meeting; the transcript records the motions, seconds and that the motions passed (recorded as voice votes). Council directed staff to revisit the mobile‑home park permit fee and to provide alternatives.

Ending: Staff was asked to circulate the full fee schedule to council members and to work with code enforcement on a recommendation for mobile‑home park permitting and inspection fees.
