RE: Approve Weights and Measures Fee Schedule
BACKGROUND
The City of Oshkosh Inspection Services Division contracted with the State of Wisconsin to perform
the Weights & Measures inspections in 2012 after the Health Department was transferred to
Winnebago County. The City of Oshkosh has resumed performing most of the program tests, and
the Municipal Code language should be updated to reflect those changes.
ANALYSIS
City staff will resume testing scanners and scales throughout the City in the summer of 2016.
DATCP will continue testing gasoline and other liquid /fuel dispensers. The Ordinance to remove the
Weights and Measures fees from Section 29 -27 is on second reading before Council and therefore
Council is being asked to create the Weights and Measures Fees by resolution. These fees will be
part of the Inspection Services Division Fee Schedule. Only three changes are being proposed and
include:
• Adding the missing device on the fee schedule: Electric Pill Counter - $35.
• Adding the missing device on the fee schedule: Taxi meters - $40
• Increasing the late penalty for registration from $75 to $150 in order to incentivize
businesses to pay their Weights and Measures fees by the due date of June 30th.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no change in the current fees charged. Two devices were not on the City's current fee
schedule have been added, and will generate less than $1,000. The late penalty has been
increased from $75.00 to $150.00 in an attempt to encourage timely payment and avoid additional
penalties. The result may be a small decrease in fees collected.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council approves the Ordinance Amendment.
