Proposed changes are noted in <br />red in the attached fee schedule ordinance. Fees are adjusted to cover the cost of providing services to <br />customers. <br />Items to note include: <br />Licensing Late Fee (page 1) <br />At the June 18, 2012, Council meeting, Councilmember Motin questioned whether late fees were in place <br />for licenses and the item was to be brought forward with the next fee schedule review. Staff suggests <br />charging 10% of the total licensing fee or $25, whichever is greater. <br />Special Event Fee for Private Events on Public Property (Page 2) <br />This was the fee that was set when the Hudson wedding was approved for utilizing the downtown <br />parking lot in April of 2012. <br />Commercial Fertilizer License Fee (page 3) <br />The city required licensing before the state -wide ban on phosphorus. Companies are now required to be <br />licensed through the state. The Environmental Division will bring an ordinance amendment to eliminate <br />this license from City Code. <br />Micro Loan Program /Tax Increment Financing /Tax Abatement (page 5) <br />Fees for these programs have been in place but were not previously listed in the fee schedule. <br />P 0 W E R E 0 B Y <br />C:\ Users \jmiller \AppData \Local \Microsoft \Windows \Temporary Intemet Fi1es \Content.IE5 \RGBUJ9LH \CC I„ i"ATUR <br />Memo.docs w <br />
