City Seeks Feedback on Fee Studies

The City of Redmond is inviting community feedback on development services fees through a meeting scheduled for September 18, 2023, from 1 to 2 p. m. at City Hall. This initiative is part of a broader Development Services User Fee Study, which seeks to review and update existing fee structures. The meeting will feature a presentation by a consultant who will share preliminary findings and recommendations, allowing participants to ask questions.

Community members with an interest in how these fees impact developers and business owners are especially encouraged to attend. The study's methodology involves comparing local fees with those of other jurisdictions to ensure compliance with legal cost recovery policies. This effort demonstrates the city’s commitment to transparency and community engagement in local governance. Residents can find more information on the city’s website and are encouraged to reach out to Senior Financial Analyst Kelly Hsi with any questions. This meeting represents an important opportunity for residents to voice their opinions and influence local policy.
