Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: April 23, 2007
Through: Marvin Yoder, Interim City Manager
From: D. Scott Williams, City Planner
Agenda Item: Waiver to various permit fees for City departments
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
As a housekeeping measure, the community development and city manager’s departments are
proposing to waive land management, sign and platting fees for City of Seward departments for
permits and approvals requests associated with city projects.
In the past, the City has not charged fees to City projects and it has been pointed out that in order to
be consistent with the Ordinance, the waiver of fees for City departments should be made explicit.
This measure will make the land use code consistent with current practices.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter,
Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
Other: _______________________________________________________________________
FISCAL NOTE:
The City has not previously charged fees to City projects, so there will be no additional loss of
revenues. However, this measure will ensure that City projects do not incur added costs as a result of
the need to acquire various City permits.
Approved by Finance Department: ________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council adopt Resolution 2007- , waiving land use fees for city departments for land
management, signs, zoning and platting.
