Commissioners note discrepancy in fireworks permit fee; will keep $500 resolution in effect for now
Summary
A previously approved resolution set a fireworks permit fee at $500; some commissioners recalled discussing $1,000. County staff said Gary (staff) recommended $500; commissioners agreed to keep the approved $500 fee for this year and revisit any increase next year.
Commissioners discussed an apparent discrepancy between a previously approved fireworks-permit fee and recent staff communications. The signed resolution on file sets the county permit fee at $500, but some commissioners recalled earlier discussion of a $1,000 fee.
Staff reported that county staff member Gary recommended a $500 permit fee and that the resolution adopted at an earlier step carried the $500 figure. Commissioners noted the city fee is $1,500 and that the county’s fee had once been $100. One commissioner suggested leaving the fee at $500 for this year to avoid confusion and consider an increase next year; others agreed.
The commission directed staff to ensure meeting minutes reflect the $500 fee contained in the approved resolution. If the commission wishes to raise the fee later, staff said a new resolution would be required and county and city signatures would be updated in the administrative record.
No formal fee increase was adopted during the meeting; the $500 resolution remains in effect.
