EN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: December 12, 2005 Agenda Item 3.D. <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> Michelle A. Wolfe, City Administrator <br /> FROM: Schawn P. Johnson, Assistant to the City Administrator <br /> SUBJECT: Approval of 2006 Fee Schedule <br /> Background: <br /> The City Council annually establishes a fee schedule for administrative, building construction, <br /> liquor licensing, copying of maps and ordinances, park and recreation facility usage, planning <br /> and zoning, utilities, business licenses, false alarms and other miscellaneous permits and <br /> penalties that are provided by the City. <br /> Recently City staff members were asked to review the proposed fee schedule for 2006. After <br /> completing this review, City staff is recommending that a minimal to no increase occur in the fee <br /> schedule for 2006. The only areas that are scheduled to experience a slight increase in 2006 are <br /> electrical permits and animal control costs. According to Minnesota State Statutes (MS 462.35 <br /> Subd 4 and MS 462.352 Subd. 15), the City has the authority to impose fees to defray costs <br /> incurred in order to review applications and permits. Also, the City is required by State law to <br /> adopt a fee schedule if it collects more than$5,000 annually in revenue. <br /> The license fees were last reviewed and adjusted in 2005. The fees charged are to cover staff <br /> time spent reviewing, processing, and performing record checks for the license or permit <br /> applicants. <br /> REQUESTED ACTION <br /> Approve Appendix "A" of the Municipal Code containing the Fee Schedule for the 2006 <br /> Calendar Year. <br /> \\Metro-inet.us\ArdenHills\Admin\Deputy Clerk\FEE SCHEDULE\2006\2006 Fee Schedule-CC Memo.doc <br />
