C. The city will estimate its annual revenues by an objective, analytical process.

D. The city, where possible and reasonable, will institute user fees and charges for specialized programs and services as set forth by the mayor. The council shall set all user fees and charges for specialized programs and services related to the library. Rates will be established to recover operational, as well as capital or debt service costs.

E. The city will regularly review user fee charges and related expenditures to determine if preestablished recovery goals are being met.

F. The city will routinely identify governmental aid funding possibilities. Before applying for and accepting intergovernmental aid, the city will assess the merits of a particular program as if it were funded with local tax dollars. Local tax dollars will not be used to make up for losses of intergovernmental aid without first reviewing the program and its merits as a budgetary increment.
