Official Text
To the Honorable City Council:
In this communication I present recommendations for adjustments to certain fees charged by the City Clerk’s Office, effective July 1, 2023. The Clerk’s Office collects fees for more than fifty types of licenses, records, and certificates. These fees generate over $300,000 in revenue annually for the city.
These recommendations are consistent with the municipal costing principles used by this Office. We review the costs to the city of processing license and permit applications, and we try to adjust the fees to account for the effort involved.
Fees were last updated in FY 2016.
