“It's Brickle Avenue, but they have Mary Brickle Village. That's what it is. It's Mary Brickle Village. So maybe we shouldn't have Avenue if they also have Avenue. No, it's Brickle Avenue. Right now we have Brickle Avenue.”

“But calling it Mary Brickle Avenue... That'd be confusing. Call it Mary Brickle Way...”

“I'll give you a little bit more time. I mean, we're probably going to approve this. Yeah, I know.”

“But isn't that a benefit to the applicant to be able to expedite the permit process?”

“Well, I mean, in terms of actual cost recovery, other than using the methodology that we were assigned to use, can we put our own limits on how much we charge?”

“But I mean, like in this particular situation, if someone is applying to replace their air conditioning system, does it cost another $400 to...”
City Commission · Sep 2, 2026

“Well, can you use the same methodology but then put a cap on how much you can raise? For example, if I were replacing my air conditioning system and I was told my permit fees went from $150 to $550, I mean, it's a big jump. Can you say it's a minimum of $150 and no more than like $300? What I'm saying is you can put a cap on things.”

“$137 sounds really cheap, to be honest with you. I know the inspection process. I've been through it a few times, and I can't imagine we're recovering our costs at that level.”

“Go through the calculation as is required, but also just put a cap on it. Because for mom and pops like us who just want to put a new AC in to spend so much money for a permit, I just think it's a little egregious. Right.”

“And also keep in mind, it's a disincentive for some people who say, oh, I don't want to spend the money for a permit, so I'm not going to get one. Right. Yeah. So, so why don't we, would it be okay if we amended this ordinance?”
City Commission · Sep 2, 2026

“Well, we can draw the line based on a dollar figure. So if a project is under $20,000, then we can. We can differentiate that between – I'm just picking a number out of the hat, but $20,000 is usually – people's air conditioning systems – you brought it up, so I'm just using it as an example. But the air conditioning systems are usually under $20,000. Right. Any projects below $20,000, the maximum should be like $300. Anything more than that, there's no max cap.”
