The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community Item No: 08A Meeting Date: January 26, 2026 Type of Business: Council Business City Administrator Review: _____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator Item Title/Subject: PUBLIC HEARING: Second Reading of Ordinance 1053, Amendment to the 2026 City of Mounds View Fee Schedule Related to Residential and Commercial Plumbing Permit Fees Introduction: The Mounds View Fee Schedule is reviewed by Staff on an annual basis. However, periodically additions, deletions, adjustments or increases are deemed necessary. Discussion: The City Council approved Ordinance 1049 approving the City of Mounds View 2026 Fee Schedule on October 27, 2025. However, since then there has been an amendment requested regarding residential and commercial plumbing permit fees. Rum River Consultants, the City’s contracted plumbing plan reviewer per our delegation agreement with MN DLI, has brought to our attention recent legislative changes regarding plumbing plan review and permit fees that have not been adjusted for many years. During the 2025 legislative session the Minnesota Statutes was amended (Chapter 6, Article 5, Sections 33–34) to address permit fees and plan reviews specific to plumbing work for public and state-licensed facilities as outlined in proposed Ordinance 1053. Rum River Consultants have accordingly adjusted their fees to keep with State’s changes, and therefore, the City should also adjust their fees in keeping with the newly adopted fees of the Department of Labor & Industry and other municipalities. Introduction and first reading were held on January 12, 2026. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council open the public hearing and approve Ordinance 1053. Respectfully submitted, _______________________ Nyle Zikmund City Administrator
