City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209`h St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Hold a public hearing to consider adopting Ordinance No. 114,
amending Ordinance No. 106 establishing fees for building permits
issued by the City of Scandia.
Deadline/Timeline: N/A
Background: • During preparation of the 2009 budget, the Council gave direction
to increase the minimum building permit fee from $69.50 to
$99.50.
• The minimum fee is commonly applied to small projects, such as
re-roofing a home. In 2008, we issued many such permits and
found that an increase would be justified given the amount of staff
time required to issue and inspect these small projects. The
increased fee is also comparable to that charged by several of our
neighboring municipalities.
• A public hearing is required on an ordinance changing building
permit fees. Notice has been published in the city's legal
newspaper for a hearing to be held at the January 6 City Council
meeting.
Recommendation: I recommend that the City Council hold the public hearing and then
adopt the ordinance.
Attachments/ • Draft Ordinance No. 114
