Analysis
On October 2nd 2007, the City of Grand Prairie approved Ordinance 7677 replacing Ordinance 7001 and updating the Drainage Plan Review Fees.
Developers in Grand Prairie are required to deposit this Drainage Plan Review Fee up front to have a third party engineering consultant working for the city to perform the Drainage review for their project.
The consulting firm of Halff Associates has performed these reviews for the City of Grand Prairie and they have now requested an adjustment in the review fees due to higher cost. Halff is very familiar with the City of Grand Prairie drainage requirements and have performed many of the drainage master Plan studies.
Staff is recommending that Ordinance 7677 be amended to amend the drainage plan review fees.
Financial Consideration
No funding required.
