MAYOR <br />Bill Blesener <br />COUNCIL <br />Jim LaValle <br />Rick Montour <br />Barbara Allan <br />John Keis <br />515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117-1600 ADMINISTRATOR <br />(651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 Joel R. Hanson <br />www. ci.little- canada, rnn. us <br />TO: Mayor Blesener and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Lisa Krieger, Customer Service Specialist <br />DATE: June 8, 2006 <br />RE: Increase in Mechanical Permit Fees <br />City staff is recommending a fee increase to the Residential portion of the Mechanical Permit <br />Fee Schedule. The last fee increase occurred November 13, 1996. Attachment A shows our <br />current fee schedule. The fee increase would also allow us to restructure the fees for <br />furnaces and air conditioning. This will be less confusing for the customer. Attachment B <br />shows the recommended fee increases. <br />Upon researching by internet the surrounding cities, I found two different types of fees <br />schedules. Arden Hills, Vadnais Heights, and White Bear Lake have fees based on a <br />percentage of the project value. Little Canada, Maplewood, North St. Paul, Oakdale, and <br />Roseville have set fees for each type of work being done. The recommended fee increase <br />would put us more in line with the surrounding cities. Attachment C shows a cost example <br />comparing Little Canada to the surrounding cities and also shows the recommended increase. <br />Little Canada's Commercial Mechanical Permit fees fall in line with the surrounding cities as <br />shown in Attachment D, and it is staff's position that they not be adjusted at this time. <br />
