IV.4. Resolution Amending Fees in Appendix A of the Hopkins City Code; DomeierOctober 5, 2021 Council Report 2021-094
Resolution Amending Fees in Appendix A of the Hopkins City Code
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 2021-059
Amending Fees in Appendix A of the Hopkins City Code.
Overview
The common fees for all City departments are adopted by resolution and included in the City
Code. Staff presented at the August 10 Work Session that they have been working 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 October going forward; however, we do
expect additional fee changes later this year after the full review is complete.
Administrative fees such as liquor license amendments, special event permits, transient
merchants, sign permits, fence permits, notary services for non-residents and parking fees are
included in the attached resolution for consideration. Fees proposed to be removed are due to the
changes in licensing requirements (3.2% temporary liquor licenses and mobile food trucks) and
the truth in housing program ending.
Primary Issues to Consider
The proposed fee changes more accurately reflect the City’s staff time and costs associated
for services.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends adjusting fees as outlined in Resolution 2021-059.
