Proposed Fee Adjustments in Chapter 10 of the City Code
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 2016-085
Amending Fees in Chapter 10 of the Hopkins City Code.
Overview
The common fees for all City departments are adopted by resolution and include d in the City Code.
Staff has been working together to establish baseline charges that included calculated amounts of
staff time and overhead costs involved for each fee. It is anticipated this review will happen every
December going forward; however, we do expect additional fee changes later this wi nter after the
full review is complete.
To date, the following fees have been reviewed and being brought to you for consideration:
Administration: Document copying related to Data Requests
Police: Document copying related to Data Requests
Inspections: Electrical Permits
Public Works: Sidewalk snow abatement, refuse utilities
Primary Issues to Consider
The proposed fee changes more accurately reflect the City’s costs for processing data requests,
administering electrical permits and recouping snow abatement expenses.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends adjusting fees as outlined in Resolution 2016-085.
