Overview: Legislation passed by the North Carolina General Assembly (HB310) on July 21, 2017 requires that local governments limit the payment for consultant review of small cell wireless facilities in public rights-of-way to $500. The Town’s existing fee for wireless consultant technical review is $1,000. The proposed change would correct this fee discrepancy. The fee schedule amendment is necessary for the Town to collect the statutorily allowable fee and be able to pay the consultant to provide technical review of wireless applications.
|
|
Recommendation(s): |
That the Council amend the fee schedule to add a fee for Wireless Facilities Applications.
Fiscal Impact/Resources: No fiscal impact, as fees collected are transferred to consultant. Technical review by wireless consultant provides important resource support to staff for this type of review which we expect to be increasing in the future.
