IRON MOUNTAIN — Annual adjustments in Iron Mountain’s fee schedule will take effect July 1, including an increase in fines for illegally parking in a handicap space.

The new fine is $100 if paid within three days, $110 if paid between four and 10 days, and $125 after 10 days. That’s up from $60, $70 and $80, respectively.

The change, which the city council approved Monday, was recommended by Director of Police and Fire Services Jeff Solka to provide more deterrence.

Meanwhile, fines for violating the overnight winter parking ban will remain the same — $40 if paid within three days, $50 if paid between four and 10 days, and $60 after 10 days

The charge for an additional garbage cart will rise as well, to $4 monthly, up from $1.50. A contract with GFL Environmental for citywide collection services includes this new rate, City Manager Jordan Stanchina said.

Fees for cemetery services will generally rise 3.1% to reflect an inflation adjustment. As it stands, the city’s charges are below actual costs, Stanchina said.

Rental housing inspection fees will see their first increase in 15 years. The new rates are $50 for the initial inspection, and $40 for a third-year inspection and subsequent inspections.

That’s up from $30 initial and $25 subsequent.
