FY 2024 Schedule of Fees & Charges 
Summary of Proposed Changes 
Staff proposes the FY 2024 Schedule of Fees & Charges with the following changes from the FY 2023 
Schedule.  All proposed changes are summarized below by department and can be found in each 
department’s respective section of the proposed FY 2024 Schedule of Fees & Charges. 
Fire  
The department is proposing to change several fees assessed by the Fire Marshall’s Office involving plan 
reviews and inspections, including some descriptions with no fee changes. Descriptions have been 
altered for site and building plans to improve clarity with no proposed fee changes. Fire sprinkler plan 
reviews have been broken out by system types and increased from a range of $50-$100 to a range of 
$100-$200, depending on the system. The department is also adding a special-agent fire suppression 
system plan review fee for $200. Descriptions for commercial cooking hood/grease duct and cooking 
hood suppression systems fees have been separated out to improve clarity and better define review 
type, although no fee changes are proposed. Additionally, the department is proposing a new $200 fee 
for IFC 510 emergency responder radio system plan reviews.  
Descriptions for the existing building and commercial tenant inspections have been changed to improve 
clarity with no proposed fee changes. Descriptions for building construction inspection have been 
changed for clarity and some amounts changed, including fees of $150 for first re-inspection (previously 
none) and $200 for second re-inspection (previously $150). Lastly, the department is proposing to add a 
$500 fee (in addition to the base inspection fee, if applicable) for expedited inspection fees. This allows 
permit holders the ability to request any of the following: a same-day inspection, a same-day re-
inspection, or an after-hour/non-workday inspection (4-hours maximum and subject to staff 
availability).  
Library 
The Library is proposing to increase meeting room rental fees from $15 for up to 2 hours for residents 
(or nonresidents with a library card) to $25 for up to 2 hours. For non-residents, room rental fees would 
increase from $30 to $50. Additionally, the department is proposing to add tutoring use fees, required 
only for tutors using the library for paid sessions. This would be a $100 annual fee for residents (or non-
residents with a library card) and $150 for non-residents.  
Parks 
The department is proposing adding fees for the anticipated opening of the Riverline splashpad. The 
department is proposing a fee of $2 ($4 for non-residents) for daily admission, $75 for a family season
