Resolution No. 2018-002, Authorizing a refund of the residential design study fee in the
SUBJECT:
amount of $1,580.55 to Ross Roofing, Inc.

RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing a refund of the residential design study fee in the amount of $1,580.55 to Ross
Roofing, Inc.

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The Residential Design Study Track 1 fee of $1,580.55 was collected from Ross Roofing, Inc. as the agent for
an applicant seeking a permit for a replacement roof. The replacement roof did not require Planning
Commission review and therefore a refund of the design fee is required.

This item is on the Council's agenda to authorize a refund in accordance with Carmel Municipal Code
§3.06.060, which requires refunds of $1,000 or more to be approved by Council. Specifically, §3.06.060 states
that “from time to time it becomes necessary to refund certain permit fees, taxes, licenses, etc., in the normal
course of City business. Upon recommendation from the Assistant City Administrator, the City Administrator or
her/his duly authorized representative is authorized to approve such refunds in an amount not to exceed $1,000.
All refunds over $1,000 shall require approval by the City Council.”

FISCAL IMPACT:
Other than the cost of processing the refund, there is no fiscal impact to the City for issuing the refund of the
fee.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION:

None.
