Council approves unified fee schedule changes for planning division
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 25-1127 to amend the Unified Fee Schedule for Planning Division applications to add a flat fee plus a deposit to cover outside professional services (hearing examiner, city attorney); the change was approved 7-0 and staff proposed an effective date of Sept. 1, 2025.
The Lynden City Council voted unanimously to approve Resolution 25-1127, amending the Unified Fee Schedule for Planning Division applications. The amendment adds a flat fee plus a deposit intended to cover typical outside professional services such as hearing examiner and city attorney work; staff noted deposits will be monitored and professional services halted if the deposit funds are depleted.
Staff explained the application types are infrequent but the deposit system will help avoid large end-of-process invoices for applicants. Council approved the resolution 7-0 and staff proposed an effective date of Sept. 1, 2025, although the amendment could alternatively be considered with the broader fee schedule review during the budget process with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2026.
