Following the initial adoption of a fee schedule by resolution of
the Town Board, the Town Board shall review the fee schedule at its
organizational meeting each year. In the event that the Board concludes
that no changes are required in the fee schedule, the Board shall,
by adoption of a resolution, authorize the continued use and distribution
of the unchanged fee schedule. If the Board determines that changes
should be made, it shall adopt a resolution describing any proposed
revisions or amendments. The Board may also review the fee schedule
at any other time it deems necessary and propose revisions or amendments
to it.
No proposed revisions or amendments shall be implemented unless the
Board first holds a public hearing on them. The public hearing may
be held at the time of the hearing on the budget or such other time
as the Town may decide, but not less than five days from publication
in the Town's official newspaper of notice of the time and place
of such hearing. Following the public hearing, the Board may adopt
a resolution implementing revisions or amendments to the fee schedule.
Upon the adoption of such a resolution, the revised and/or amended
fees or other changes in the fee schedule shall be effective immediately
unless otherwise specified by the Board in its resolution.
The fee schedule, incorporating the revisions, amendments and changes
approved in the Board's resolution, shall be posted on the bulletin
board maintained for that purpose in the Town Hall and in the office
of the Town Clerk and shall be made available by the Town Clerk for
distribution to persons requesting the same.
