Fee changes proposed in draft Resolution No. 842; council removes proposed non-resident library fee
Summary
Staff presented draft updates to the Master Fee Schedule including higher printing/copy fees, updated staff/equipment time rates, and a $50 mobile-food-vendor application fee; councilors removed a proposed $50 non-resident library membership fee and asked for more research before returning that item for action.
City Administrator Baker presented proposed updates to Resolution No. 842 (Master Fee Schedule) including increasing printing and copy fees, updating staff and equipment time rates, and adding a $50 annual mobile food vendor application fee. The updates were framed as aligning fees more closely with actual costs.
Councilors debated a proposed $50 annual library membership fee for non-residents. Some councilors opposed the fee given Lowell’s relatively small library collection and suggested exemptions for low-income residents, seniors, and school-district members; others supported a fee with exemptions. The council agreed to remove the library fee from the draft resolution and directed the library committee to research options and return recommendations.
