AMENDMENT OF THE 2003 SCHEDULE-OF RATES, FEES AND CHARGES <br /> By: Diana Lurid, Finance Officer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City of Ramsey's 2003 schedule of rates, fees and charges was adopted by City <br />Council on November 12, 2002. Amendments to this schedule were taken at the City <br />Council meetings of March 11 and April 22, 2003. <br /> <br />The-City is currently in the process of implementing a permit program that will track all <br />permits relating to building construction in the City. For .example, building, plumbing, <br />water, sewer and septic permits. All permits sold will be entered into this system and a <br />daily total of the revenue collected will be kept for building construction permits only. <br /> <br />Currently, under our adopted 2003 rates and charges, there is no distinguishing factor for <br />commercial construction from residential construction for permits issued regarding <br />plumbing, mechanical and re-roofing. Also, the fees set for residential plumbing permits <br />stated a per fixture fee: the new software is not capable of a per fixture fee. <br /> <br />Also, as a result of the 2003 legislative session, a bill was passed into law limiting the <br />annual license fee that may be imposed by cities. The amounts allowed are $350.00 for <br />businesses .selling only fireworks authorized by statute and $100.00 for mixed sale that' <br />includes fireworks.
