Committee takes no action on fee waiver request

A proposal to grant Patrick Construction a waiver of water and sewer impact fees for a building it is constructing west of Havre died in a City Council committee meeting Monday.

The proposal, made in a letter to Mayor Bob Rice on May 10, asked for a waiver on fees charged to connect water and sewer lines to the structure on Second Street West. Fastenal, an industrial and construction supply company based in Minnesota, will be renting the building.

The proposal was referred to the Water and Sewer Committee after two local contractors said it would be unfair to grant the waiver.
