City Council to consider list of 76 fees

The Mitchell City Council will consider adopting a list of 76 fees tonight at City Hall for city licenses, permits and services.

The proposed resolution that lists the new fees does not list any of the existing fee levels, or state whether any of the fees are increases. The fees cover all manner of things, from permits for circuses and carnivals to building permits for new structures, to name some examples.

The council meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall.
