City staff presented a consolidated update to city fees and the Victoria City Council adopted the ordinance during the Jan. 28 meeting.

A staff presenter told the council the packet reflects prior briefings and that the only new change was an update to print fees. “Most of these items are now available electronically online. And what we would propose is if a printed copy is requested that … you're charged the city's actual print charges,” the staff member said.

Per council direction, the staff member said downtown-related facility fees proposed earlier have been removed from the current slate and “are still under review.”

After the presentation, the council opened and closed a public hearing on the ordinance. A motion to adopt the amendment to Chapter 24 was made and seconded; the mayor called for the vote and the mayor declared the ordinance adopted after the ayes were heard.

The ordinance consolidates multiple fee schedules into a single chapter of the city code and updates print fees for materials the city provides in hard copy. The council did not discuss the downtown facilities fees during the vote; staff will return with recommendations on those fees at a later date.
