Proponents of the change said the lesser fee will encourage prospective businessmen to set up shop in the city instead of fleeing to neighboring communities where the charge isn’t as costly. Rockford’s fee is $10,000, while South Beloit, Machesney Park and Roscoe’s fees are no more than $5,000 each.
In other news, the council agreed to move Catherine Crawford from part-time to full-time status as a transcriptionist, receptionist and support staff employee for Community Development, which is made up of the building and planning departments. Boone County will reimburse the city for 9.5 hours of the position’s salary.
