Council directs staff to revise fee schedule to cover food trucks, land-use and conditional-use permits

During the March 10 work session, staff reported several instances where city code references fees that are not included on the published fee schedule. The most immediate example is a food-truck fee that is referenced in the code but currently lacks an associated fee on the schedule.

Staff asked for council direction to cross-reference and add missing fees—public-use permits, conditional-use permits and a land-use fee were discussed specifically—so that staff can consistently apply and collect fees when permits are issued. Council members agreed staff should draft language and consider how fees are structured to avoid unintended consequences.

The council noted some fees historically implemented by handshake or informal arrangements and asked staff to formalize those into published schedules or contracts to prevent future confusion. Staff will draft updates for council review at a subsequent meeting.
