CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: February 1, 2021
AGENDA ITEM:Consideration of approval of an ordinance to amend Chapter 225, Utility
Permit Application, by amending Section 225.2(D), Issuance [Introduction;
first, second, third (final) readings]
FORMAT:Ordinance
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: City staff recently discovered that the utility permit
application fee noted in Chapter 225 of Waukee Municipal Code had not been
updated to match that same fee as noted in the Fee Schedule approved via
resolution. The ordinance amendment will allow the City Council to approve
rates for utility permits via resolution rather than through ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT:
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: In order to enact newly proposed rates by resolution, City
staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance in title only
and waiver of the second and third readings. The Code of Iowa requires a
vote of not less than three-fourths of all the members of the council (or 4 out
of 5, in Waukee’s case) in order to waive readings of an ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: Introduce the ordinance, approve the first reading in title only, waive the
second and third readings and place the ordinance on final passage.
