summary for publication Mr Lathim seconded the motion
Mr Smith gave a bnef outline of the specifics of the increases He
explained that the recommended 1994 fee schedule, if adopted would
represent approximately a 40 percent increase over the fees that are now
charged
If Council adopts the 1994 fee schedule and maintains the existing
valuation method and range of charges, permits for a typical 1,750 sq ft
home would increase to $885 50 from $659 50 After such an increase,
total permit fees in Pasco would still be lower than all localities with the
exception of Kennewick
Mr Jensen felt uncomfortable with a 40% increase in fees and also felt
Pasco was unique to the other cities and needed to remain competitive
He was opposed to the proposed 40% increase in fees
Mr Strode concurred with Mr Jensen that a 40% increase at this time
would be excessive He wanted to see the amount reduced or to be
phased in over several years
