Council adopts ordinance moving carnival fees into consolidated schedule of fees
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 2026-34 to remove the carnival license fee from the city code and place it in the schedule of fees, a housekeeping move staff said will centralize fee information; staff said carnival permits are rare (about one to three annually).
City staff told Rosenberg City Council that Ordinance 2026-34 cleans up the code by removing the carnival license fee from the ordinance text and placing it in the city's consolidated schedule of fees.
Staff said the change is largely administrative and intended to prevent conflicting fee listings in two locations; the planning/parks events staff estimated carnival permits are uncommon — roughly one or two per year — with the county still handling the county fair and some special events. Council asked for frequency data and then voted to adopt the ordinance by voice vote.
Councilors framed the change as a routine code cleanup rather than a policy shift. Staff said the ordinance simply centralizes fees to make them easier for residents and applicants to find.
