Staff Recommended Motion
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2022-116, establishing an administrative fee of $150.
Summary
On September 23, 2009, the Town Commission of the Town of Lady Lake adopted Resolution 2009-117 amending the fees assessed for the enforcement of the Code of Ordinances and the Land Development Regulations in the Town of Lady Lake. Nearly thirteen years have elapsed with no adjustment to fee schedule. As the range of the Code Enforcement Officer’s salary has increased, the wages of others involved in the Code Enforcement administrative process coupled with higher rates in postage fees, staff recommends that the Code Enforcement Administrative fee be amended to recover the cost to the Town. Although the calculated rate for services is justified at $151.16, Town Staff is recommending a fee of $150.00. Only those violators who have their case heard before the Special Magistrate will be charged the administrative fee.
