Consultant Plan Review
Fee Per submittal See note
Fees determined per contract with Town, paid by
the applicant to the Town for any third party peer
review determined by the Town to be necessary to
ensure compliance with requirements.
Added to the notes to better describe the intended
use of this fee and move to general services so it
can be utilized by other departments, not just
building.
Add new fee Agreement Preparation
Fee n/a see Notes n/a see Notes
Actual fees and costs charged by the Town’s
outside counsel for preparing an agreement, if the
Town determines outside counsel is needed for the
particular agreement; applies to all types of
agreements. The Town Manager has the authority
to waive this fee for agreements the Manager
believes provide substantial benefits to the Town
equal to or greater than outside counsel costs and
fees.
Eliminating similar, but rarely used, fee for
development agreements. This will allow the Town
to recover costs for the use of outside counsel for
any type of agreement when outside counsel is
deemed necessary. Still allows Town Manager to
waive the fee if benefits to the Town outweigh
outside counsel costs.
Add new fee
Liquor License
Application; Fair/Festival
License
n/a Per application n/a $25.00
Fee is in addition to any fees payable to the State
of Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and
Control
This is a relatively new type of liquor license
under state law and the Town does not currently
have a fee for it. As this type of license is similar
to and requires a similar amount of staff time for
processing as a special event liquor license
application, the same fee of $25 is proposed.
