Mounds View City Council November 22, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 16 . 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, and therefore, staff suggests these projects do not require an additional plan check fee. He indicated that the language in Exhibit A of the resolution reflects this. Community Development Director Jopke stated staff recommends approval of Resolution 5382. Council Member Marty inquired if the proposed resolution, as drafted, would include staff's background information, which is very specific. Community Development Director Jopke advised that the resolution will reflect those projects that will require a plan check fee, however, it does not include those projects that do not require a plan check fee. He explained that staff would interpret this to be applicable to only those items listed in Exhibit A. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. K. Update on Filling Vacant Positions in the Community Development Department. Community Development Director Jopke stated, as the Council is aware, there are two vacant positions in the Community Development Department. These are the Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector and the Economic Development Coordinator positions. He indicated that staff has advertised and interviewed candidates for each of these positions. Community Development Director Jopke stated staff is prepared to offer these positions to two individuals, subject to Council approval. Staff suggests the Council approve Resolution 5392, which is a resolution approving the hire of Jeremiah Anderson as the Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector, and Resolution 5393, which approves the hiring of Aaron Parish for the position of Economic Development Coordinator. Mayor Coughlin inquired if one motion approving both resolutions simultaneously would be in order, or if these items should be handled separately. City Attorney Long stated it would be acceptable to approve both resolutions simultaneously.
