The Crockett City Council convened on August 7, 2023, to discuss various agenda items, primarily focusing on building approvals and associated fees.

The meeting began with a proposal regarding the approval of building fees, specifically emphasizing permanent fees rather than outsourcing services. A council member clarified that the current session was solely for approving the fee structure, with outsourcing discussions to be addressed in future meetings.

Following this clarification, a motion was made to approve the proposed fees, which received a second from another council member. The motion was put to a vote, with most members expressing support for the fee structure. However, one member indicated reservations about the outsourcing aspect, suggesting that the city currently employs individuals for these tasks and questioning the need for outsourcing.

The council member inquired about the timeline for implementing the approved fees, to which the city representative responded that an ordinance would need to be drafted and processed before the fees could take effect.

In summary, the council successfully approved the building fees while deferring discussions on outsourcing to a later date, with plans to formalize the fee structure through an ordinance in the near future.
