Kirksville updates fee schedule to clarify copy charges and add permit-extension fees
Summary
The council adopted changes to the city fee schedule to align with the Missouri Sunshine Law (10'cent copy charge plus a 5'cent staff-time component) and to add fees for building- and remodel-permit extensions; staff explained the extension charge differences relate to temporary construction-water usage and metering.
The Kirksville City Council adopted an updated fee schedule that clarifies copying charges under the Missouri Sunshine Law and adds fees for permit extensions.
City Manager Mary Maycomber said the Sunshine Law requires a 10'cent charge for a copy; the proposed update clarifies that 10'cents covers the physical copy while an additional 5'cent charge covers staff time. The council also approved adding fees for extensions to building permits and remodel permits. Staff explained the difference is related to whether temporary construction water is provided: renewal of a building permit often includes temporary construction water charges when a meter has not been installed, while a remodel renewal typically does not because the property already has a meter.
Council members asked clarifying questions about the fee structure and timing; staff provided explanatory details. The council voted to adopt the updated fee schedule as presented.
