3. Review of Proposed Historic Preservation Fees
The fees proposed are based on the square footage of space to be added or renovated
that would require review by a person with the expertise and training in historic
preservation guidelines and standards. The proposed new fee structure is a way to
include the time associated with the review of larger projects with the fee that is paid
by the applicant. Item was moved, seconded and recommended to the full Council for
approval.
4. Review of Proposed Fats, Oils & Grease Program Fees
Currently staff collects information through the victualer’s licensing program. When
applying for a victualer’s license, food service establishments (FSEs) are required to
submit information about the FOG equipment installed in their establishment and the
maintenance program for the equipment.
Staff recognizes the sensitivity of adding fees to businesses in our community and so
proposes another plan to bring FSE’s into compliance. Under this plan, commencing
August 1, 2014, any person applying for a new or renewal of a victualer’s license will
receive a letter outlining their obligations to report and comply with the sewer code. If
they do not comply by their renewal the next year, they will not receive a victualer’s
license. Item was moved, seconded and recommended to the full Council for approval.
