Calls were made to surrounding Cities to survey how they were processing their plumbing permits; doing so we discovered that a majority of the Cites are using the flat fee permits. Attached is a recap of these fees.

'6,3, J CITY OF SHAKOPEE Memorandum CASELOG NO.: N.A TO: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: R. Michael Leek, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Proposed Flat Fee Plumbing Permit MEETING DATE: March 4, 2003 INTRODUCTION: In an effort to streamline the assessment and collection of plumbing permit fees; Building Official James Grampre has suggested instituting a "flat fee plumbing permit." In contacting other cities, inspection staff found that the cities ofBurnsville, Lakeville, Prior Lake, and Savage all have instituted flat fee plumbing permits, ranging in amount from $85.00 to $118.00 (an average for those 4 cities of about $103). Staff also undertook an analysis of recently issued plumbing permits. A copy of that analysis is attached for the Council's information. Based on the average of those permits, it is suggested that the Council amend the current fee schedule to institute a flat fee for plumbing permits of $106.00 effective April 1, 2003, thus giving time to inform the building community of the proposed changes. In addition, staffhas incorporated the proposed additional plan review and re-inspection fees that Council directed staff to proceed with. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Offer and pass Ordinance No. 659, an ordinance amending the 2003 fee schedule to provide for a flat fee of $1 06.00 for plumbing permits and establishing additional plan review and re-inspection fees. 2. Do not adopt the proposed fee schedule amendment. 3. Table the matter for additional information. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends alternative No. 1.
