This includes processing the application,reviewing plans, conducting site inspections, and meeting with the TEP (Technical Evaluation Panel),prior to the issuance of WCA permits. Bee Keeping The fee was set with the adoption of the bee keeping ordinance. The fee accounts for staff inspection and processing time. This is a one-time registration fee. Sanitary Sewer User and Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) Council reviewed these fees during budget discussions. Surface Water Management At the last meeting Council directed staff to review these fees and they will come back for further discussion. Animals Staff proposes to eliminate pet licensing. The original intent of licensing pets was to ensure they were vaccinated for rabies and to reunite missing pets with owners. There was a rabies scare in the 70's but it is not of epidemic proportions in the U.S. today. Many pet owners license their pets and enforcement is challenging. There are 8,548 households in the city and we licensed about 400 animals this year. Microchip technology is available for pet I.D. The animal ordinance is in need of an update and if approved, an ordinance amendment would come forward in 2019. Parking Fines Council approved these fees in August to streamline processes and save on staff costs by transitioning from city ordinance to state statute. Elk River Municipal Utilities ERMU Commission adopted their fees in November. The city attorney recommended the fees be listed as part of the city's master fee schedule. Financial Impact Adoption of the resolution for summary publication of the fee schedule ordinance will save on publication costs.
