Review Proposed 2022 Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges

Annually, the city adopts a Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges.  This schedule is adopted by ordinance, with adoption occurring in November to have the rates in effect by January 1st of the new year.

In looking at the city's current rates, it was determined that several of the building permit fees were being undercharged.  The city's Building Official did a comparison of where the city's current rates are and what he would recommend for 2022.  A comparison of the city's current building rates & 2022 proposed is attached.  The Building Official will be present at the worksession.

The only other changes proposed for 2022 are related to utilities which reflect increases in water as recommended in the City's utility studies.

The following are attached for review:
    1.  3 options showing current/proposed building valuations & fees
    2.  Schedule of rates & charges reflecting building related charges only.  This shows comparisons to other cities, 2018 rates                 when building permit rates were last changed, 2021 Adopted rates and the Building Official's recommendations.
    3.  Full Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges.
