Woodbine council approves amendment to building-fee schedule for accessory structures
Summary
The Woodbine City Council on Aug. 4 approved an amendment to Article XI, Section 11.1 of the city code modifying building fees for accessory structures greater than 120 square feet; the ordinance takes effect Jan. 1, 2026, per state regulations.
Samantha Young, Woodbine city administrator, presented an amendment to the Code of Ordinances, Article XI — Schedule of Fees, Section 11.1 (Building Fees), proposing changes to fees for accessory structures larger than 120 square feet.
The council approved the ordinance on a motion by Councilor C.C. Higginbotham, seconded by Councilor Phyllis Drummond. Mayor Kizzi Knight declared the motion unanimously approved. The minutes state the ordinance will be effective Jan. 1, 2026, to align with state regulations; the record does not list the revised fee amounts.
The amendment was taken up under New Business and, after brief presentation by city staff, received unanimous approval from members present. The meeting minutes do not record any dissent, amendments to the motion, or a roll‑call of individual votes beyond the mayor's declaration of unanimous approval.
The council later entered an executive session (subject not specified in the minutes) and reconvened without reporting any votes from that session. The ordinance's effective date is specified in the minutes; staff follow-up items such as publishing the revised fee schedule or updating permit forms are not detailed in the record.
The council adjourned at 8:58 p.m.
