Payson council adopts FY2026–27 fees and charges; appeal fee and process clarified
Summary
The council adopted Resolution 2026‑020, adopting the town fees and charges schedule for FY2026–27; council discussion clarified that an appeal fee (about $650) applies to planning appeals and that procedural decisions are made by the Planning & Zoning Commission with appeals to council.
The council held a second public hearing and then adopted Resolution 2026‑020, the fees and charges schedule for fiscal year 2026–27, by a 7–0 vote.
Council discussion focused on the appeal fee (approximately $650) and when it applies. One councilmember asked whether the fee applied to appeals from planning and zoning decisions; Town Attorney (speaker 9) explained, “Procedurally, the commission is the deciding body,” and that anyone aggrieved by the commission’s decision may file an appeal to council, for which the appeal fee helps offset the town’s review costs.
No public speakers provided comment on the fee schedule at the hearing, and staff said routine items and agreements (including contracts with the Humane Society and the Payson Senior Center) were part of the consent agenda and separate budget actions.
Next steps: Resolution 2026‑020 is adopted and will be implemented by town departments; staff will continue to collect routine financial statements from grantees and bring clarifications about appeals when requested.
