IV.4. Resolution Amending Fees in Chapter 10 of the Hopkins City Code; Domeier (CR2017-137)
December 5, 2017 Council Report 2017-137
Resolution Amending Fees in Chapter 10 of the Hopkins City Code
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 2017-082
Amending Fees in Chapter 10 of the Hopkins City Code.
Overview
The common fees for all City departments are adopted by resolution and included in the City Code.
The following fees have been reviewed and being brought to you for consideration:
Administration/Finance: Parking Rates
Fire: Inspection Rates
Primary Issues to Consider
The proposed fee changes more accurately reflect the City’s costs for issuing, administering and
recouping parking permit and fire inspection fees. An increase in the parking permit rates will
help offset the rising cost of maintenance and enforcement of the city owned municipal lots and
the aging municipal ramp.
Current ramp and municipal lot parking permit fees are $3 per day, $33 per month, $78 per
quarter, $252 per year along with an overnight parking fee of $30. Current electric car permit
fees are $85 quarterly and $300 annually. There is not an option for daily and/or monthly
electric car permits.
Current Fire Inspections fees are $50 per hour for first and second inspections; $100 per hour for
third fire inspections; and $150 per hour for any additional inspections after the third inspection.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends adjusting fees as outlined in Resolution 2017-082.
