Committee opened with a report that a nonprofit (Saints Car Club) complained after being charged multiple tent permit fees; Nick Bond (staff) explained the city historically charged a $10 technology fee and recently adopted a higher fee to capture staff review and after-hours inspection time. Members discussed a flat first-tent fee with a smaller per-additional-tent charge (suggestion: $50/additional) and agreed to forward a recommended amendment to the full council to create a flat initial fee and lower incremental fee for additional tents.
