an ordinance be drafted setting forth the permit procedure and fee schedule
for not only excavation permits, but construction permits and moving permits

guarding full-time employment of existing personnel rather than what might
evolve to an obligation of paying additional fees for services by County

processing of permits within the City to present for Council consideration.
Motion carried unanimously.
