ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY FEES
May 6, 2013 City Council Meeting
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the Ordinance
Amending City Fees.
Approval of the Ordinance will result in the approval of changes for residential electrical
permit fees.
Overview
Staff reviewed with the City Council at the April Council Work Session the need to raise
residential electrical permit fees in order to attract and retain a contract electrical inspector.
The proposed amendment of residential electrical permit fees will bring them in line with the
State of MN electrical permit fees that are used by most cities.
The proposed effective date for the fee amendments is July 1, 2013. Notice will be sent to
electrical contractors upon adoption of the ordinance amending the fees.
Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinance amending the City Fee Schedule for
residential electrical permit fees.
Primary Issues to Consider
• What is the overall financial impact of the proposed fee amendment? Based on 2012
levels, the proposed amendments will result in a 20% increase in electrical permit
revenue.
