REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 15. <br /> OM 3 <br /> STAFF REPORT Report Number: 95-1254WS <br /> 1111 <br /> 0 ° <br /> AGENDA SESSION DATE March 6, 1995 Report Date: 3-3-95 <br /> DISPOSITION <br /> Item Description: Update on 1995 Fee and Permit Schedule - Reinspection and Licensing Fees <br /> Administrator's Review/Recommendation: <br /> - No comments to supplement this repoa. 1 <br /> - Comments attached. <br /> Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) <br /> SUMMARY; <br /> i <br /> At the February Work Session, Staff forwarded yearly updates of the City <br /> Fee Schedule to the City Council for consideration. At that time, Staff <br /> also made the Council aware of the following two items which could possibly <br /> warrant the charging of fees and/or licensing: <br /> 1) Charging a fee for chronic reinspection of rental property during the <br /> yearly Certificate of Occupancy inspections. <br /> For example, the Building Inspector conducts a yearly inspection of <br /> common areas within each rental property in the City. The owner of <br /> the property is given a list of necessary repairs and a reinspection <br /> is scheduled (usually 30 days later) . Often, the repairs are not made <br /> and another inspection is required. If the repairs are still not <br /> made, the Building Inspector continues to schedule reinspections until <br /> the work is complete. This can take up a tremendous amount of the <br /> Building Inspector's time. The Council may want to consider charging <br /> a fee for inspections required in excess of the initial inspection and <br /> reinspection. <br /> 2) Licensing and charging a fee for tree-trimming businesses. <br /> Currently, tree-trimming businesses which service residents of Mounds <br /> View are not required to have any license (City or State) to operate <br /> in the City. Again, the Council may want to consider requiring these <br /> types of businesses to be licensed with the City in order to do <br /> business within the Community. Staff has received a number of calls <br /> relating to the noise generated by these operations. Licensing the <br /> businesses would allow the City to place some regulation on the <br /> activity including hours of operation and noise levels. <br /> Community Development Department Secretary Barb Benesch contacted <br /> other communities to inquire as to their procedures for handling each <br /> situation. The results of her efforts are attached for your review. <br /> Staff is seeking Council direction on this matter. <br /> Paul(H-arrington, Com pity Development Coordinator <br />
