Background
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In FY 2017, the Town undertook a comprehensive cost of service study to determine levels of fees required to recover 100% of the costs for planning, building, engineering, and fire prevention. As a policy decision, the fees for intermediate and major amendments for schools, government buildings, and places of worship were set at 50% of cost recovery. Resolution 2017-23 would consistently apply this policy decision to managerial and minor amendments as well, reducing the fee for a managerial amendment from $1,900 to $950 and the fee for a minor amendment from $5,250 to $2,625 for schools, government buildings, and places of worship.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Approval of this item may result in a reduction of revenue typically less than $5,000 per year.
