Comprehensive Fee
Schedule Update
Proposed Fee Adjustments
Presentation to Mayor and Council
March 30, 2010
Overview
First comprehensive fee schedule adopted in
2009 with intent to review and update annually.
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.

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.

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.
