We already have a special assessment fees in place but not the rush fees. Camila is working on license renewals right now so we can get a handle on how many late ones we had this month. I am thinking the March L&F meeting would provide us with a little more time to check with the other municipalities regarding their late fee policy/ordinance. We will be tied up getting absentee ballots out early next week. From: Raverty, Nick <ravertyn@ci.superior.wi.us> Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2021 9:34 AM To: Kalan, Terri <kalant@ci.superior.wi.us> Subject: Proposing new fees Hi Terri, I wanted to follow up on our conversation from December about instituting a few new fees within the Clerk dept. We had discussed preparing some documentation for special assessment fees, special assessment rush fees, and late fees for licenses. When do you think would be a good time to start pulling this information together? When does License and Fees meet next? I would like to get this proposal in front of them in the next couple months for sure to begin the discussion, and am happy to help pull together the proposal/documentation. I am guessing we will need any ordinance or policy that currently exists relating to these fees, comparisons from other municipalities with WI (which I have a spread sheet of some for special assessments), and a memo proposing why now, comps, potential savings/revenue, and the policy outcome. Not sure if these are numbers we have, but how many special assessments are done and how many on a ‘rush’ as we wish to define it, and how many late license renewals your dept. has had to track down over the last 5ish years. Just throwing out some ideas.

I’ll never forget the shocked looks on everyone’s faces in my Clerks Institute budgeting class a couple years ago when I told them that we didn’t have either in place. They weren’t shocked to learn that I was spending an enormous amount of my time chasing down late renewals and processing multiple batches of these renewals simply because there was no real incentive for the licensees to submit their paperwork in a timely manner. And, although the City Clerk’s office charges a special assessment fee if the parcel in question has an outstanding alley assessment balance that they want to pay in full, I learned that most municipalities charge a special assessment fee regardless of whether or not there is an outstanding balance. Some even charge an additional $25-75 RUSH fee for special assessment inquiries which they require in less than 48 hours. Also, because the majority of these requests usually come from mortgage companies, some municipalities even have an special account set up so that their special assessment fees are automatically withdrawn when their requests are processed. Just a new possible revenue stream to consider. Thanks for listening.

Do you have a listing with all the fees/permits/licenses amounts? Or would I need to reach out to individual departments for some of them? I know I can print out some of them on our website which I have done so, but I want to make certain I have all of them. I also looked at our Ordinances for fees/permit costs/cost of licenses, but it would make this easier for me if you have such a listing. I am keeping my fingers crossed that you do. Whatever help you can provide me would be appreciated. Thank you Terri!

If they don’t renew on time, they have to submit a new application and pay a much higher rate. (And check out the “Cool Fee Schedule” which is also nice because of the precise rates are listed, but it also makes me glad I don’t work there.) I would also like to add an “Approval Required” column like the one in the Madison Fee Schedule. AND I would also like to break our list of licenses into 2 grids—one for those that expire in June and another for those that expire in December. Here’s some copy to get us started: All businesses are responsible for the timely filing of annual business license renewal applications and payments, which must be received or postmarked by their respective due dates. If you are filing after your due date, your renewal application cannot be accepted without an accompanying late fee. There is a grace period prior to penalties being applied. If you require additional information (or have not received your License Renewal Application in the mail) please contact us. And if you want to know where the digital copies of the print outs I’m bringing your way are located, go here: 1 Camila Ramos City Clerk Assistant, City Clerk’s Office Phone: 715-395-7200 Fax: 715-395-7264 Email: ramosc@ci.superior.wi.us Website: www.ci.superior.wi.us 2 } Licenses The City Clerk’s office processes and issues most City licenses.
