CITY OF MESA Notice of Inteent to Establish Fees & Charges

Arizona law (A.R.S. §9-499.15) requires that government entities provide written notice on their website home page of the proposed new or increased taxes or fees. When the City of Mesa has such a change to report, it will be posted to this page 60 days prior to Council voting on such changes.

City departments have the opportunity to evaluate their fees and charges and propose changes based on the use of services. Departments also evaluate whether fees and charges are consistent with the market rate or provide cost recovery of a program or service.

The Mesa City Council will review and take action on the proposed text amendments, fees adjustments, and changes to the departmental updates listed below.

Mesa operates under a charter form of government with citizens electing a mayor and six councilmembers to set policy for the City.

Mesa's councilmembers serve terms of four-years, with three members being elected every two years. The mayor is elected at-large every four years. The mayor and council are elected on a non-partisan basis. The vice mayor is selected by the City Council.

The Mesa City Council believes that its people, not leaders, are what makes a City great and actively works to encourage citizen participation in the decision-making process. Whether it is through neighborhood meetings, advisory boards and committees, telephone calls and letters, or email, the Mesa City Council sets policies based on the input and needs of its citizens.
