Utility Committee Changes Policy

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone City Council's Utility Committee has changed a long standing policy and will not waive fees for water and sewer taps for DMACC.  The Boone Campus of DMACC is moving ahead with the building of an additional housing unit.  Historically, the City has waived fees for water and sewer taps, for building permits and so on, when the project is undertaken by another taxing entity.  The building permit was over $5,300.  Water and sewer taps are less, but the Utility Committee voted unanimously not to waive the charge.
