Council votes to remove fees section from code, shifting fee-setting to resolutions
Summary
Diamondville approved Ordinance 494 on Jan. 19 to remove the fees section from Chapter 11.30 and provide that fees will be set by separate resolution; council voted unanimously on second reading.
The Diamondville Town Council approved Ordinance 494 on second reading Jan. 19, removing the fees section from Chapter 11.30 of the Town Code and establishing that all fees will be set by separate resolution of the governing body.
Councilmember Robert Sawaya moved approval on second reading; Councilmember Sherrol Sloan seconded and the council recorded unanimous approval in the minutes. The minutes do not list the specific fees or the schedule that will be adopted by future resolution.
Shifting fee authority to resolution allows the council to adjust fees administratively via future resolutions rather than amending the code itself. Staff will be responsible for preparing any fee resolutions and public notice as required when specific fees are proposed.
