Used "cost of service" approach rather than copying fees used in other jurisdictions. In general, no attempt was made to balance the Town's budget through fee increases. 2 1 Project Goals ~ Eliminate errors, inconsistencies and unused items within the existing fee schedule. ~ Ensure that fees reflect the actual cost of providing programs and services to customers, where appropriate. Comply with any new legal requirements mandated by federal, state and local legislation. 3 Summary of Proposed Changes Added fees that were inadvertently missed when fee schedule created last year and deleted fees that were no longer being used. Changed many building safety items from valuation- based to non-valuation-based, which more accurately reflect the Town's cost of service. Expanded several old, generic fees into multiple new fees which more accurately reflect services offered by the Town and the cost to provide those services. 4 2 ll ~I~~I!!II~~`'I~ !~~~
