Amending Electrical Permit Fees
Mayor Little opened the public hearing to consider an ordinance amending residential
electrical permit fees. Mr. Olson presented the proposed ordinance. As discussed by the
City Council at the April 22nd work session, staff is recommending increasing electrical
permit fees, bringing them in line with what the State of Minnesota charges for residential
electrical permits. The ordinance also incorporates into the fee schedule a $35 additional
trip charge for return inspections. Based on 2012 permit levels, the proposed amendment

.,.. .
would have resulted in a 16.6% increase in electrical permit revenue. The effective date of
the ordinance is July 1, 2013, allowing time for City staff to notify electrical contractors of
the fee increase.
Mr. Olson indicated that City staff will review the State's fee schedule annually. Council
Member Anderson suggested that staff conduct a comprehensive analysis of all City fees
with the annual budget process.
There were no questions or comments from the audience.

County Road 50 and asked why the plat does not include access to this area from Jordan
Trail. Mr. Morey and Mr. Suel explained that this option was explored. However, due to
topography, wetlands, a drainage channel and private property ownership, - s connection is
not feasible.
