Multi-family homes would also see an increase from $312.50/unit to <br />$1,950/unit. According to a recent survey that was conducted by Hoisington Koegler Group, <br />Inc., the $2,600 figure is the average of the 56 cities that returned surveys. <br />The Commission felt that the recommended increase was fair, but they didn't like the huge jump <br />and felt that in future years, the fee should be reviewed annually along with the park shelter fees <br />so that this problem would not happen again. They felt that a small annual increase was better <br />than a huge increase every 10+ years. <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
