Pre-RFPAdministration & FinanceDetected Jun 27, 2024

The mayor and committee discussed permit and utility connection costs for a new residence on SE 10th and declined to waive the building permit fee. They expressed interest in creating an incentive to waive utility connection fees for new homes outside the 2022 TIF district and asked the City Administrator to work with the attorney and bring a proposal to council. This signals potential changes to fee policy and housing incentives, where financial and policy advisors or housing program managers could support design and administration.

Incentive would apply to new residential construction outside the 2022 TIF district and focus on waiving utility connection fees, not building permit fees.
