DATE: April 19, 2016
CONSENT
ITEM #14
AGENDA ITEM: Approve Resolution 2016-30 Authorizing Summary Publication of
Ordinance 08-132 amending the 2016 Fee Schedule
SUBMITTED BY: Julie Johnson, City Clerk
THROUGH: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: City Attorney’s Office
POLICY RECOMMENDER: City Clerk
FISCAL IMPACT: Substantial cost savings on publication of legal notice
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council adopted Ordinance 08-132 at the April 5, 2016 Council meeting, amending the 2016 Fee Schedule to include an escrow in
sewer connection permits to ensure proper abandonment of septic tanks for properties connecting
to City sewer. Publication of the entire fee schedule, which is an attachment to the Ordinance,
would be very costly. State statute allows for summary publication of documents containing
charts, therefore, staff is requesting approval of Resolution 2016-30 authorizing summary publication of the Ordinance without the attached 8 page chart.
RECOMMENDATION: If removed from the Consent Agenda, staff recommends the
following motion:
“Motion to adopt Resolution 2016-30 Authorizing Publication of Ordinance 08-132 by Title and Summary.”
