Council Considers New Over-the-Counter Fees, Code Enforcement Costs and Plan Digitization

Community Development Manager Sarah Madden presented proposed changes to Community Development fees that could include new over-the-counter permit fees for items such as window replacements; she said formal fee proposals would be brought to a future work session for Council consideration. Finance Director Kristen Schabacker told the Council contractual costs for code enforcement are tied to building-permit revenues, which staff had budgeted at a flat level for 2027.
