Presented by Erik Montague, who noted that the most recent changes to the fee schedule occurred in May, 2016. Included within those changes were some simplifications by the Engineering Department in the drainage report fee. They intended to eliminate a number of line items by exchanging those to a per hour review fee. when the changes were brought to Council in May, those line items were not eliminated, and a simplification fee was added. Tonight's Council action would clean up that portion of the fee schedule by eliminating the fees that should have been removed earlier. Council Member Ziegler asked Mr. Davidson if these changes included posting of political signs, an item she brought up at a previous meeting. Mr. Davidson responded that there are a number of changes they are looking at, and the sign permit fees is part of a larger discussion on overall sign issues. That, and other fee changes will be coming back to Council at a future date. Motion to approve by Council Member Bowen, second by Council Mt- vnxber Ziegler. Passel unanimously 6-0.
