Council considers fee updates including CPR and smoke-shop inspection fees
Summary
The finance committee recommended an amendment to the city code to remove erroneously included changes and to insert four fees left out of the original version: one CPR training fee and three smoke shop licensing/inspection fees from the health department.
The New Haven City Council reviewed an ordinance amending Section 17-201 of the General Code of Ordinances to correct errors from the mayor's submission and to adjust fee schedules. The finance committee adopted a technical amendment that removed erroneously included changes and inserted four fees that had been omitted from the original package.
Why it matters: Changes to code fees affect permitting and licensing revenues and the cost of services for businesses and residents; the newly inserted fees come from the health department and include one for CPR training and three related to smoke-shop licensing and inspections.
Key details: The finance committee reported that several changes were erroneously included in the mayor's submission; the technical amendment removed those errors and explicitly added four fees: one CPR training fee and three smoke-shop licensing/inspection fees. The committee voted to recommend approval of the amended ordinance.
Outcome: The finance committee recommended approval and urged the full council to approve the corrected ordinance.
