Mounds View City Council November 22, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 15 intent appears to pertain to City related functions, and boards and commissions, all of which would be subject to the policy. Mayor Coughlin added that the City Attorney could report back to the Council if anything was found to be untenable in this regard. Council Member Stigney stated that the Charter Commission meetings consist of a general meeting, at which all members are present, however, the Commission members then split into separate committees, which meet in different rooms. He stated he was uncertain how the policy could be implemented as indicated in the motion. Council Member Marty explained that generally, after the Charter Commission breaks into separate groups, they come back together, and the different groups provide a summation of their discussion. He stated in his opinion, this summation would suffice for broadcasting purposes. Mayor Coughlin stated they could certainly discuss the particular situation of any individual group at a later point, however, the goal to be considered is to keep the public informed regarding anything that relates to them directly or indirectly, and impacts, or has the potential to impact their lives. Ayes—4 Nays— 1 (Stigney) Motion carried. J. Resolution Approving Fee Increases for 2000. Mayor Coughlin stated this item is the continuation of a motion made at the November 15 City Council Meeting, by Council Member Marty and Council Member Thomason, and the motion is again on the floor. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Thomason. To Approve Resolution No. 5382, a Resolution Approving Amendment to the City of Mounds View's Uniform Schedule of Fees and Charges, Exhibit A Attached. Community Development Director Jopke stated staff has attempted to clarify some confusion at the previous meeting concerning the provisions of the proposal relating to fee increases. He stated three items have been revised on Exhibit A of the resolution. He explained that two of the revisions pertain to the fees charged for Planning Commission mailed agendas, and Planning Commission mailed minutes, which staff suggests be increased from $10 to $54, and from $20 to $144, respectively, to reflect actual costs. Community Development Director Jopke indicated the third revision pertains to the plan check fees. He stated staff suggests additional plan check fees be charged on those projects that require substantial staff review. He advised that the new language attached to the resolution indicates there will be a plan check fee of 65 percent of the permit fee for all commercial permits, residential permits, new dwellings, dwelling additions, garages, garage additions, decks, sheds over 216 square feet, and major remodeling of homes. He explained that these projects require a plan review, and therefore, should require a plan check fee. Community Development Director Jopke stated other items that require permits, such as roofing, siding, window replacement, driveways, and fences do not require a plan review by City staff,
