Commission adopts rate resolution 2025-09 with multiple fee increases and proposed TIF application fee
Summary
Finance Director Pauline Carey presented rate resolution 2025-09, which the commission approved; changes include a roughly 5% solid-waste increase, a mayoral ceremony fee increase to $100, a title-search fee raise to $10, and a proposed TIF application fee increase to $5,000 (administrative $1,000/year optional).
The Huron City Commission approved Rate Resolution 2025‑09 after a staff presentation outlining several proposed fee and ordinance updates.
Finance Director Pauline Carey told the commission the solid‑waste line items would increase about 5% consistent with budget recommendations. She also noted a proposed increase to the mayoral ceremony fee to $100, and a change to the title‑search fee from $5 to $10 (the fee has not changed in over 20 years). Planning and zoning fees and plat fees are under discussion, and the finance office included an option from planning to raise the tax‑increment‑financing (TIF) application fee to $5,000 (from $1,000) to cover staff time and paperwork; Pauline said a recurring $1,000 annual administrative fee could also be added but would not be required.
Carey also flagged a possible forthcoming ordinance to license video lottery machines at $50 per machine; staff said they will conduct outreach to affected license holders before bringing the ordinance forward. The resolution passed on a roll‑call vote (unanimous).
