Council reviews new administrative fee for code-enforcement filings
Summary
Staff discussed the proposed 2026 fee schedule changes and clarified a new $45 administrative fee tied to code-enforcement filing and court costs; council members asked for details and staff explained the fee covers city administrative and court costs associated with re-filing enforcement actions.
City staff reviewed the proposed 2026 fee schedule during the work session and highlighted one newly added administrative fee related to code enforcement.
A council member asked for clarification about the change that staff had earlier described as $25; staff corrected the figure and said the administrative fee is $45. A staff member said the fee would be assessed in instances where the city must re-file enforcement actions and that it covers administrative and court costs incurred by the city.
Council members asked follow-up questions and staff pointed the council to the packet page that contained the fee schedule. Staff said the CPI-based adjustments to other fees follow council policy, and that the $45 administrative fee is the single new item in the schedule.
No formal council vote was recorded in the work session; staff said the fee schedule item would be on the regular agenda for council action and that the fee language would be available in the packet.
