[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Committee
of the Township of Freehold 2-26-2004 by Ord. No. O-04-4. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
It is the purpose that this chapter, by virtue
of this chapter and future amendments, will eventually contain all
fees to be charged by the Township and its agencies, to the extent
that the Township has the power to set such fees. In the event another
level of government shall be exclusively empowered to set a fee or
empowered to set a maximum fee, and there is a conflict with the fee
set forth in this chapter, the fee or maximum allowable fee as determined
by the other level of government shall control. In the event the amount
of a fee set forth herein shall conflict with the fee set forth in
any other provision of the Code of the Township of Freehold, the fees
in this chapter shall control.
A.
The fees set forth in §§ 150-3 through 150-49 of this chapter reflect 2024 values, which for purposes of this section shall be considered the "base fee." Commencing with January 1, 2024, and on January 1 of each subsequent year, the base fee shall be increased an amount equal to 5% of the base fee, rounded to the nearest dollar; the fee increases resulting therefrom are not to be compounded annually, but every 10 years the base fee shall be adjusted upward to reflect that year's fee. By way of example, if the base fee is $100 in 2024, the automatic increase shall be $5 per year through 2033; on January 1, 2034, the base fee shall be adjusted upward to $150, and the new automatic increase shall be $8 per year. Fees established by ordinance subsequent to 2024 shall only commence being increased on the first January 1 which occurs more than 12 months after adoption of the ordinance establishing the fee; however, all base fees shall be adjusted every decade regardless of their commencement date. By way of example, if the fee was first established July 16, 2026, the automatic increase would not commence until January 1, 2028. In no event shall the automatic increase provided by this section exceed any statutorily established maximum fee.
