TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Osberg, City Administrator
DATE: February 1, 2007
SUBJECT: YMCA Building Permit Fee and Plan Review Fee
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council take action authorizing reimbursement to the
YMCA for Building Permit fees ($21,790.30) and Plan Review fees ($14,163.69) that
were paid on December 22, 2006 for the construction of the new facility in Hastings.
BACKGROUND
At the City Council meeting on November 15, 2004 the following action was taken by
the City Council:
"City Administrator Osberg request approval to waive City fees associated with
construction of the YMCA. Those fees include park dedication, WAC, SAC, platting, etc.
They do not include fees that are due another agency, such as the Metropolitan Council.
Moved by Councilmember Riveness, seconded by Councilmember Hazlet to
approve the waiver of fees as requested.
7 Ayes, Nays, none.
While processing the building permit application there was some uncertainty on exactly
what fees are to be waived, and it was agreed that to begin the process of securing the
building permit, all fees be paid, and further research would be conducted. The above
reference from the November 15, 2005 City Council minutes reflect the action taken at
that time, and it seem clear that fees not due another agency, but strictly City fees be
waived. Thus, the request to reimburse the YMCA for the building permit fees and the
plan review fees.
