Ione council directs staff to study and update building-fee schedule, issue RFP
Summary
Council approved a motion to hire consultants to review local building-permit fees (last updated in 2016) and directed staff to issue an RFP for a fee-study and update, with a recommendation to repeat the review every five years.
The Ione City Council directed staff to begin a formal update of the municipal building-fee schedule and to issue an RFP for a fee study at its Dec. 16 meeting.
A councilmember said the last comprehensive fee review occurred in 2016 and that many fee categories now appear inconsistent (for example, that adding a deck and installing a hot-water heater were charged similarly). The council discussed updating the schedule to reflect current costs and agreed the review should be repeated every five years; the motion to issue an RFP passed on a voice vote.
Council did not specify the consultant selection criteria in the meeting; staff was directed to begin the RFP process and return to council with proposals and a recommended timeline.
