Background Summary:
In general, most fees charged by the City for various applications and services are established by Council
Resolution, updated on an annual basis. The most recent fee changes took effect on January 1, 2007. A
few fees are still established in Auburn City Code. For ease of maintenance and to ensure annual review of
these fees, staff has recommended these fees be removed from Code and placed in the fee schedule
adopted by resolution.
Two fees are addressed in the attached ordinance: 1) the fee for filing an appeal of an environmental
(SEPA) determination (ACC 16.06.240) and 2) the fee collected for the City's administration of school
impact fees on behalf of area school districts. An adjustment to the former fee has already been included in
the current fee schedule update, while and amendment to the fee schedule will be necessary to include the
impact fee administrative charge. An amended resolution will be presented to Council concurrently with this
ordinance.
