<br />historical data based on 1,800 tons a year. If the City will go over 1,800 tons a mid year rate increase <br />might be necessary. <br /> <br />PERMIT FEES <br />The Building Official has recommended minor increases of $5.00 for most mechanical and plumbing <br />permit flat fees, with the exception of a $15 increase for mobile home set-up permits. The last increase <br />in any permit fees was in 2023, which was the first increase done in many years. He has also <br />recommended adding a flat $200 building permit fee for residential solar installations instead of using <br />the project value cost to determine the permit fee. This will greatly reduce the permit fees for solar <br />projects. <br /> <br />FILLING/GRADING PERMIT FEES <br />These fees were simplified into two categories, less than 1 acre and over 1 acre, with flat permit fees <br />instead of the fee being based on cubic yards of fill. <br /> <br />LICENSES <br />A new $300 annual license fee for cannabinoid (THC) products, and $500 and $1,000 registration fees <br />for cannabis businesses were added. <br /> <br />PARK RENTAL FEES <br />Rental fees for the Old Fire Hall and park shelters are recommended to increase by 10% for residents <br />and 15% for non-residents. Modest increases on the rental fees are done each year to keep up with <br />staff time and supply costs for maintenance. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the Council adopt Ordinance 907, amending the Fee Schedule beginning on January <br />13, 2025 for water & sewer rates, trash & recycling rates, building, mechanical, plumbing and <br />fill/grading permit fees, licenses and park building rental fees as presented, and approve publication of <br />a summary ordinance. <br /> <br />
