Planning Conditional Use Permit Fee City Manager Trevino reported the City is in receipt of a letter from Lucille Otto wherein she requests waiver of the filing fee for a business concerning the care of felines. Mr. Trevino explained the City, as a rule, does not waive filing fees except for reasons of public interest, health, safety, and general welfare; or perhaps misapplication of City Codes. City Manager Trevino stated personal hardship is not considered a reason for waiver of a fee, however, the City is cognizant of the fact that morally, in some instances, it must assist that segment who is unable to meet monetary fees required and for this reason, his recommendation reflects the following: That the City Council deny the request for a waiver of fee, but authorize the City Manager to work with Mrs. Otto in hopes that there may be some means to assist her in obtaining the necessary funds for her Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Trevino reported the Secretary for Bondiman & Associates after reading the newspaper article on this matter, contacted his office about making a monetary donation for the fee required. Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Hayes to approve the staff recommendation as presented. Unanimous vote. Permit Parade - Fire Assoc.
