Tourism & Events – Event Directional Banner Fees
As adopted by City Council in January 2011, city staff established an 
Event Directional Banner Program that allowed special events to 
supply event banners to be hung on city owned street light poles in Old 
Town, North Scottsdale, and two horizontal banners across Scottsdale 
Road in Old Town.
The city contracts with a third-party for banner placement. 
Currently, the horizontal banner fee for rental clients is $150 per 
banner and the vertical banner fee is $25 per banner.
The proposed banner fees will phase-in a 3-year cost recovery 
approach to reach 100% cost recovery by FY 2028/29.

Facility Booking Fees
•
Establish the Civic Center Library Platinum and the Arabian Branch Collaboration facility rental fees.
❑The proposed fees would come by formally adding these existing meeting room spaces to the city and 
library’s Facility Rental Rates and Fees Schedule of available meeting rooms for the public to rent.
❑Result of these additions would generate revenue.
Miscellaneous Fees
•
Re-establish the Collection Agency Fee.
❑The proposed $15 fee would be passed on to patrons who have not returned long overdue library 
materials. (over 45 days after final notice)
❑The $15 fee would cover 128% of the collection agency expenses ($11.73), allow for inflation, potential 
increases to postage costs, material replacement costs, and staff time offsets. 
❑Result of this addition would provide some cost recovery revenue and the return of library materials.
•
3D Printer Usage Fee
❑The proposed fee would be based .10 cents per gram, per patron print job.
❑Result of this addition would generate some revenue and cost recovery.

Off-Duty Officer Rate Adjustment
•
As a service to the community, the Scottsdale Police Department fills requests to hire off-duty sworn 
employees to work police-related duties. The proposed increase aligns with a competitive hourly rate in 
comparison to surrounding valley agencies. Please see next slide for detailed proposed rates.
The Police Aide (PA) rate will remain unchanged at $75 per hour (reg) $113 per hour (holiday); the proposed adjustment applies only to sworn officer pay.
Vehicle Use Fee Rate Adjustment
•
As a service to the Community, the Scottsdale Police Department fulfills requests to hire Off-duty sworn 
and professional staff employees for police related duties within the City. In addition to personnel services, 
police vehicles are often required to ensure these duties are fulfilled effectively. The  Vehicle Use Fee aids in 
recovering some of the costs associated with the use of City owned vehicles and the proposed increase 
would bring the rate into alignment with comparable valley agencies. Please see next slide for detailed 
proposed rates.
