84 <br /> Association of <br /> Metropolitan <br /> Municipalities <br /> November 25, 2003 <br /> Dear AMM Member: <br /> Earlier this fall, at the request of several member cities,the League of Minnesota <br /> Cities (LMC) and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities(AMM)held a <br /> meeting of building officials, community development directors, and finance <br /> directors from metropolitan-area cities to discuss the absence of a model fee schedule <br /> in the newly adopted state building code. The meeting resulted in the formation of a <br /> smaller working group to consider various methodologies for updating the 1997 fee <br /> schedule. <br /> After three meetings,the working group reported back to the larger group,which <br /> accepted its recommendations and asked that they be forwarded to all cities in the <br /> metropolitan area, as well as interested cities in Greater Minnesota. <br /> Please take a moment to review and consider the enclosed report, which recommends <br /> a sample fee schedule that cities may use as a guide in setting building permit fees. <br /> The report also expresses support for a new process for inspecting certain minor <br /> installations, such as water heaters and water softeners. <br /> If you have any questions or need additional'information,please feel free to contact <br /> me at(651)215-4001 or Laura Offerdahl,with the League of Minnesota Cities,at <br /> (651)281-1260. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Gene Ranieri <br /> Executive Director <br /> 145 University Avenue West <br /> Saint Paul,Minnesota 55103-2044 <br /> Telephone:(651)215-4000 <br /> Fax:(651)281-1299 <br /> E-mail:amm @amm145.org <br />
