Council ordains updated weights-and-measures fee schedule
Summary
The council ordained an amendment to the municipal code updating the city's weights-and-measures fee schedule following recommendations from the building inspector; councilors said the adjustment reflects inspection time and comparable municipal fees.
The Malden City Council voted to ordain an update to the city's weights-and-measures fee schedule so the new fees can take effect.
Councilor Winslow explained building inspector Miller reviewed the weights-and-measures fees after those responsibilities moved under his office and recommended fee adjustments. Councilor O'Malley thanked the building commissioner and the ordinance chair for compiling the time and cost analysis that informed the recommendation and noted the review did not include fixed overhead like benefits and insurance.
On a motion by Councilor Winslow, seconded by Councilor Crowe, the council voted to ordain the updated fee table. The motion carried.
The ordinance was enrolled to put the new fee schedule into effect; the council did not specify an effective date in the meeting minutes beyond the standard ordinance process.
