<br />City of Centerville <br />November 27, 2002 <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />Council Member Capra commented that Lino Lakes does not charge an RED fee which is <br />a $2,000 charged separately. Ms. Moore-Sykes clarified that Lino Lakes also charges a <br />fee for future sea1coating and other items. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg commented that he does not feel that charging 25% over the DBC <br />schedule is supportable and he would like some statistical analysis of the fees. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she was not sure statistical information existed but said Staff <br />would continue to research the matter. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis indicated that the reason the City is looking into this issue is <br />there may be a challenge in the future and, if the fees are supportable, then the issue is <br />over. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated the City lowered permit because the fees for finishing a <br />lower level were $200 to $300 and people were not pulling permits so the City lowered <br />the fee to $50.00. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg said he thinks these fees are excessive and he could see lowering them <br />by a couple of thousand dollars. He then said that fees are a taxation on people and <br />someone moving to a new home pays for those fees through the price of the home. He <br />further commented the City should be charging what is appropriate for the administration <br />required but should not be out of line with surrounding communities. <br /> <br />City Attorney Hoeft suggested Staff provide further information to ensure that the <br />comparison is apples to apples before making any decisions. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg encouraged Council to review this information in January. He then <br />asked staff to provide the information to new Council to review the 25% surcharge over <br />the UBC schedule and to look at the furnace, air and water heater permit to bring it more <br />in line with the surrounding communities. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated there would be a work session scheduled with the new <br />Council <br /> <br />4. Pending Issues <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated there is a contingent ornament if an artisan cannot be <br />found. She then asked whether the Mayor would be attending the event and he said he <br />would be. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson indicated she would like a pending issues list for discussion on <br />December 9, 2002 so that the items can be posted for the December 19, 2002 to be <br />completed before the end of the year. <br /> <br />Page 9 of! 0 <br />
