Council moves to centralize town fees into Master Fee Schedule; ordinance to remove fee amounts from code passes first reading
Summary
Council approved first reading of Ordinance 2026.008 to remove specific fee amounts from the town code and maintain them in a consolidated Master Fee Schedule that will be published for public access; Council supported the consolidated schedule effective July 1.
Town Manager Doug Polen presented Ordinance 2026.008, explaining the ordinance would relocate existing administrative fees into a single Master Fee Schedule rather than listing amounts throughout the Town Code. Polen said fees required by state law to remain in the Code would be retained there, while facility rental, planning and zoning fees, and administrative charges would move to the consolidated schedule to improve transparency and ease updates.
Councilman R. McKenrick moved to approve first reading; Councilwoman Andrea Fripp seconded. The motion passed on a roll-call vote, 4-0 (Councilman D. Brock was stepped out and not present for the vote). Staff confirmed the schedule will be published and maintained as the Town’s official fee document and set to become effective July 1.
