Port Clinton schedules second reading for ordinance that would raise excavation permit fees
Summary
At first reading Aug. 27, Port Clinton City Council heard from the auditor about Ordinance 16-24, which would raise excavation deposit/bond from $10 to $100 per foot, set a $150 first-time permit fee, require inspections, and allow the Safety Service Director to grant fee waivers; the ordinance was set for second reading Sept. 10, 2024.
Port Clinton City Council took first reading Aug. 27 of Ordinance 16-24, a proposed update to the city’s excavation permit rules that the auditor said have not been revised since 1951.
According to the auditor’s summary to council, the ordinance would raise the deposit/bond on right-of-way excavation from $10 per foot to $100 per foot, establish a $150 first-time permit fee, and add conditions for inspections after excavation projects are completed. The auditor also said the ordinance would give the Safety Service Director authority to issue full or partial waivers of parts of the fee structure.
No council action was taken on Ordinance 16-24 at the Aug. 27 meeting; the ordinance was scheduled for second reading at the regular council meeting on Sept. 10, 2024. The transcript does not record debate, amendments, or public comment on the proposal at first reading.
If adopted, the ordinance would replace a fee structure that the auditor described as unchanged since 1951. The transcript does not specify projected revenue from the change, implementation dates, or whether any fee waivers have already been granted under existing practice.
Council is scheduled to consider the ordinance at second reading on Sept. 10, 2024.
