Parowan updates FY2027 fee schedule; library copy fees removed, several recreation and meter charges adjusted
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2026-13 updating the FY2027 fee schedule, removing library/front-office copy charges, adjusting recreation jersey and pool lane fees, clarifying short-term rental inspection charges, and updating culinary meter connection charges.
The Parowan City Council approved the annual update to the FY2027 fee schedule (Resolution 2026-13), adopting several housekeeping and programmatic changes recommended by staff. Among the actions, staff proposed removing the nominal copy charges at the library and front office and placing per‑day caps on courtesy copies; they also clarified language for 'grandma' requests and made modest changes to recreation and pool fees.
Specific changes discussed included removing a 10¢/black-and-white and 25¢/color copy fee in favor of a capped number of free copies, moving a recreation jersey charge closer to cost, establishing lane‑rental fees for pool programming (e.g., $10 per lane per hour, nonprofit discounts), setting a $35 initial inspection fee for short‑term rentals and adjusting late‑fee language and renewal dates. Staff also said culinary meter connection fees were increased to better reflect current material costs (for example, a 3/4‑inch connection moved toward $400). Several council members asked for smaller inspection fees for simple reroofing than the previous $350 example cited in the building-inspector incident.
Council members discussed the adult softball fee (clarified and adjusted in the schedule) and noted that some utility rates are governed by separate resolutions and would remain posted on the city’s utility pages. After questions and some line-item clarifications, the council voted to adopt the updated fee schedule.
