MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 21, 2016 *PARTIAL PAYMENT #3 FOR T.A. SCHIFSKY FOR 2016 IMPROVEMENTPROJECTS ONMORRISONSTREETAND DEMONT A VENUE *APPLICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT DEFERRAL OF 2016 IMPRO VEMENT ASSESSMENT AT 355 DEMONT A VENUE EAST The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Fischer. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. FEE SCHEDULE The City Clerk explained that due to bringing some of the planning duties AMENDMENTS in-house in 2016, an adjustment to the planning fees is now possible. She stated that the final planning costs to the applicant are the City's billed costs from the consultant City Planner, Engineer or Attorney and public hearing costs, plus an administrative fee of $100 or 20% of the costs, whichever is more. She stated that when Associate Planner Jessica Jagoe processes a planning case, we only bill for the public hearings plus the $100 administrative fee. That does not cover staff time. She explained that staff is proposing to amend the fee schedule to add a $350 minimum fee for conditional use permits and variance applications for R-1, single family, zoned properties that are processed by the Associate Planner. She noted that the same developer's deposit amount of $500 will still be collected at the time of application in case there are other costs, but a refund will be issued if the additional funds are not needed. The City Administrator stated that this change and processing some planning cases in-house will save residents money. The City Cleric stated the other amendments are for the slight increase in water meter costs and a wording change to how hydrant meters are billed, and staff is also proposing a slight increase in the Old Fire Hall rental rates. Keis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2016-12-216 —APPROVING ORDINANCE 807, AMENDING THE FEE SCHEDULE FOR PLANNING FEES, WATER METER COSTS AND OLD FIRE HALL RENTAL RATES AS PRESENTED IN THE CITY CLERK'S STAFF REPORT.
