The City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance.

explanation

On July 10, 2006, the City Commission authorized the City Attorney to draft, and the Clerk of the Commission to advertise an amendment to section 14.5-26(a).

On May 8, 2006, the City Commission referred the issue of the Public Safety Committee to develop a proposal for restructuring administrative fees as it applies to one community or property in contiguous locations to each other.  The Public Safety Committee recommends a pro-rated sliding fee where all properties are included in one contract and are within close proximity of each other.  Properties meeting these criteria would be eligible for the sliding fee scale.
