COMMITTEE BUSINESS Committee to order at 5:52 Case #I: Proposal of Right of Way Permit Fees and Associated Costs Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler stated that in December 2001, the Council directed staff to research and make a recommendation as to Right of Way (ROW) permit fees. Staff had researched the information for cities with populations between 10,000 to 20,000. The .fees ranged from nothing (Ramsey and Lino Lakes) to as mUch as $200 for permit, with other char~ng per linear foot, per pit, per crossing. One city (Stillwater) requires a $5,000 bond when tearing up streets. Street Supervisor Grant Riemer has estimated the administrative cost of processing ROW permits is equal to a minimum of one hour of his time or $75. If damage to the ROW including the street should happen costs to repair would run about a minimum of $70 per Finance Committee/January 22, 2002 Page 1 of 9 -17-
