SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Annually departments analyze their various fees to determine if they are still meeting the goals of each one. Departmental staff members recommend changing the following fees for 2025:
1. Addition of Recreational Marijuana Fees, as adopted by voters on Nov. 5, 2024
2. Addition of Fees for Public Records - Various%
3. Reduction in Collection Fee Due to Delinquent Court Payment - Reduced to 18% of total due
4. No longer issuing Outstanding Judgment Warrant
5. New Deferred Prosecution Fee - $50.00
6. New Community Service Fee - $25.00
7. New Returned Check Fee - $25.00
8. Fence Inspection Fees Increase - Based on Valuation Table
9. Irrigation System Reinspection Fees Increase - $75 per hour, 1 hour minimum
These fees reflect the Town's cost of providing service. They do not generate significant revenue. For example, the Reinspection fees will generate approximately $12,000 in 2024. This is less than 2023, which totaled approximately $16,000.
