Set fees for city services through new master fee schedule

Why This Vote Matters

The city council unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance to create a master fee schedule that would consolidate all city fees into one document. Currently, fees for permits, inspections, and other services are scattered across multiple departments and documents, making them harder to track and update. This administrative measure would standardize how the city manages its fee structure, though it doesn't change the actual fee amounts residents pay. The ordinance will return for a required second reading in two weeks before taking effect.
