Thompsons council adopts development fee schedule (Ordinance #189)
Summary
Council approved Ordinance #189 to establish a community development fee schedule. City Engineer Dinh Ho said fees mirror practices used by nearby cities and must be paid before plan review or construction begins.
The Town of Thompsons adopted Ordinance #189 on May 15, 2025, creating a schedule of fees to support subdivision and plan review processes. Council approved the ordinance on a motion from Edward E. Taylor, seconded by Gary Mosier.
Dinh Ho of Adico Engineering, identified in the meeting as the City Engineer, told council the fee schedule had been developed based on practices used in nearby municipalities including the Village of Bonney and Iowa Colony. According to the minutes, "All of the fees [are] to be paid prior to starting reviews and start of construction." The change formalizes charges for plan review, civil construction inspection and related city planning services.
The ordinance is intended to ensure costs for review and inspection are covered up front; the transcript does not list specific line-item amounts in the fee schedule.
