MEMORANDUM TO: SAMANTHA ORDUNO, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: PAUL HARRINGTON, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR x, " DATE: February 2 , 1995 SUBJECT: UPDATES TO FEE SCHEDULE Building Inspector Rick Jarson and Community Development Secretary Barb Benesch have put together the attached list of updates to the Mounds View Fee Schedule . The list includes additions as well as clarification of fees . Please note that those items which are underlined are proposed to be added to the schedule. Two additional issues which may warrant discussion at the Council level are : 1) Charging a fee for chronic reinspection of rental property during the yearly Certificate of Occupancy inspections . For example, the Building Inspector conducts a yearly inspection of common areas within each rental property in the City. The owner of the property is given a list of necessary repairs and a reinspection is scheduled (usually 30 days later) . Often, the repairs are not made and another inspection is required. If the repairs are still not made, the Building Inspector continues to schedule reinspections until the work is complete. This can take up a tremendous amount of the Building Inspector' s time . The Council may want to consider charging a fee for inspections required in excess of the initial inspection and reinspection. 2) Currently, tree-trimming businesses which service residents of Mounds View are not required to have any license (City or State) to operate in the City. Again, the Council may want to consider requiring these types of businesses to be licensed with the City in order to do business within the Community. Staff has received a number of calls relating to the noise generated by these operations . Licensing the businesses would allow City to place some regulation on the activity including hours of operation and noise levels .
