This resolution amended the Schedule of Rates and Charges pertaining to plan check fees of multi-family structures with identical designs. The amendment was made based on recommendations of the Building Official. He deemed that it was not warranted to collect the full plan check fee after reviewing the plans of the initial structure, as subsequent identical structures did not require a plan check. The Finance Department reviewed the implication on the budgeting process and determined that the change adopted on August 8, 2000, would bring in revenues of $1,000, compared to $15,000 under the pervious Schedules of Rates and Charges. A comparison of other cities was performed and it was further determined that the majority of neighboring cities still collected a plan check fee in the amount equal to 65% of the cost of the building permit. City Administrator Norman stated that staff recommended rescinding formal action and allow more time to discuss implications the change would have. Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to adopt Resolution #00-09-238 amending the 2000 Schedule of Rates, Fees, and Charges for plan check fees to its original 65% of building permit fees and rescind Resolution #00-08-191. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Zimmerman, Anderson, and Connolly. Voting No: None. City Council/September 13, 2000 Page 18 of 19
