IV.5. Resolution Amending Fees in Chapter 10 of the Hopkins City Code; Domeier
September 18, 2018 Council Report 2018-101
Resolution Amending Fees in Chapter 10 of the Hopkins City Code
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 2018-075
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 Administration and Finance Departments have reviewed the parking rates and bring proposed
amendments to you for consideration:
Current ramp and municipal lot parking permit fees are $3 per day, $35 per month, $83 per quarter,
$268 per year, $35 for residential parking and an overnight parking fee of $32. Current electric car
permit fees are $90 quarterly and $320 annually. There is not an option for daily and/or monthly
electric car permits.
Primary Issues to Consider
The proposed fee changes more accurately reflect the City’s costs for issuing, administering and
recouping parking permit 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.
Previous electric car permit costs were low compared to cost of energy usage. Estimated energy
cost of an annual pass used 3 days per week is approximately $312, this does not include any
cost for the parking spot itself. Staff will continue to review and increase the electric car permits
annually. There are only two electric car permits available in the parking ramp currently.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends adjusting fees as outlined in Resolution 2018-075.
