Council adopts updated planning fee structure to pass consultant costs to applicants during staffing shortfall
Summary
With two planning staff departing, council adopted Resolution 25-04 to convert certain fees to filing fees and pass consultant (LCOG) costs plus a 10% administrative charge to applicants; staff said LCOG will assist while the city recruits a planning director.
Planning staff explained that, because two planning staff members departed, the city will rely on the Council of Governments (LCOG) to process some planning applications and proposed changing the fee structure to collect filing fees and bill applicants for consultant costs plus a 10% administrative fee.
Staff said the change is intended to ensure the city does not incur unrecovered costs when LCOG consultants process applications. Council adopted Resolution 25-04 unanimously. Staff also noted interviews for a new planning director are scheduled and the city plans to hire additional planning support over time.
