Summary

Council approved updates to the recreation fee schedule (amphitheater rental fee; Parole Room rental hour change) and adopted revisions to development‑review and building‑department fee schedules, including new as‑built, reinspection and off‑hours inspection fees.

The council approved a package of fee schedule updates affecting parks, planning and building services. Parks staff proposed two changes: standardizing Parole Room Saturday/Sunday end time to 10 p.m. (from midnight) and establishing a $200 amphitheater‑only rental fee. The council approved the recreation fee schedule 7–0.

Planning staff presented changes to the development‑review fee schedule, adding or adjusting fees tied to as‑built drawings, right‑of‑way permits, stormwater connections and lot splits; council approved the land‑development fee schedule 7–0. Building‑department changes focused on reinspection fees, off‑hours inspection rates and improving as‑built quality; council approved the building‑department fee resolution 7–0.

Staff noted the recovery‑residence ordinance passed earlier required an application fee entry in the fee schedule and that those costs were included in the night's package of fee updates. Council members asked whether development contractors had been consulted; staff said public‑works and the city engineer received feedback pertaining mainly to preconstruction meetings and construction inspections.

Next steps: Staff will publish the updated fee schedules and integrate the recovery‑residence application fee into the official schedule.
