ITEM: Discussion of amended fee schedule <br />• SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator <br />• <br />EXPLANATION: <br />Summary: <br />In 2001, the City Council asked staff to re-evaluate the city's fee schedule every three <br />years. When looking at data from neighboring cities of comparable size and structure to <br />Falcon Heights, staff found major disparities between fees charged for some services or <br />licenses in the city. In particular, these are the items that garner a further examination by <br />the council: <br />ITEM CURRENT AVERAGE PROPOSED PAGE <br /> FEE FEE FEE <br />1. solicitor license fees $35 $58.75 $50 1 <br />2. refuse hauler licenses $70 $119 $100 2 <br />3. mechanical permits $25 $46.40 $35 2 <br />4 <br />i <br />l <br />X <br />. s <br />ng <br />e <br />erox copies $0.30 $0.25 $0.10 4 <br />5. city code copying $20 $85.40 $100 hard copy, 4 <br />(chapters 1-8) $10 PDF CD* <br />6. zoning code copying $25 $30.60 $25 hard copy, 4 <br />(chapter 9) $10 PDF CD* <br />7. planning commission $20/year $32 $30/year hard 4 <br />minutes/agendas <br /> copy, <br /> free e-mail* <br />8. council $35/year $50.30 $40/year, 4 <br />minutes/agenda free a-mail* <br />*In an effort to evolve into afully-electronic data system, the prices above for e-copies of <br />planning commission minutes/agendas, council minutes/agendas, and copying of portions <br />of the code reflect this goal. <br />ATTACHMENT: <br />• Spreadsheet of comparable city data <br />
