RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing a refund of $1,075.00 to James or Gail Finnegan for the balance of
a volume study deposit.

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2017-2018 fee schedule on May 2, 2017, which includes a
deposit of $1,500 for volume studies. The actual cost of the service is deducted from the deposit
and the applicant is issued a refund when applicable. An applicant, James and Gail Finnegan,
has paid $425.00 for the cost of a volume study, resulting in an unused balance of $1,075.00 on
the deposit account. In accordance with Carmel Municipal Code Section 3.06.060, this item is on
the agenda to authorize staff to process a refund.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The refund allows the City to return the unused portion of a deposit to the applicant. Hence, there
is no fiscal impact to the City for issuing the refund, other than the cost of staff time to process the
refund.
