Over the last 10 years City Council has made it a practice to remove fees from city code in favor of placing them in the City’s master fee schedule that is updated on an annual basis. If adopted, Ordinance 6749 has the effect of removing specific fees from city code and placing them in the master fee schedule that is adopted through Resolution. Placing fees in a master fee schedule that is adopted by resolution accomplishes two primary objectives:
-
Places all city fees in a central location. This allows customers to find fees in a single document rather than having them spread through the city code.
-
Enables a more efficient process for considering annual fee updates that can be acted upon through resolution instead of an ordinance change. Ordinance changes require more administrative effort than resolution updates.
Ordinance 6749 was presented to City Council during the November 25, 2019 Study Session.
