Delebreau read a message from the Town’s Lawyer, “Like practically all municipalities, the Town of Chase maintains a fee schedule regarding its issuance of building and related permits. This fee schedule has been part of the Town’s ordinances for years, and the required fees are similar, if not less than, many of our neighboring municipalities. All construction projects, large or small, are subject to this schedule, including the Pulaski Community School District’s multimillion-dollar renovation and expansion of Sunnyside Elementary School. Per the fee schedule, the Town charged the District approximately $76,999.00 for building, HVAC, electrical and plumbing permits, which is approximately 0.38% of the over $20 million in applicable anticipated project costs. The School District believes that these permit fees are unreasonable and therefore has filed an action before the Wisconsin Tax Appeals Commission, requesting a refund. The Town disagrees and will defend the reasonableness of its fee schedule, which was enacted and published well before the Sunnyside project was first proposed”. 13. Adjournment to Monday, April 8th, 2024. Van Lannen adjourned the meeting at 7:37 pm until April 8, 2024.
