(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission Monday evening approved new licensing and permit fees.

On a 3-2 vote, the Commission approved increasing the fee for a new construction contractor's license from $25 to $75 and to $50 for renewals.

On the same 3-2 vote, the Commission approved increasing the tree trimmers licensing fees by the same amount and adding the requirement of a surety bond.

Mayor Bill Collins and Commissioner Brian Shefferd cast the dissenting votes.

The Commission also approved increasing the fee for a mobile food vendors license from $25 to $100 per year and adding an event mobile food vendor license that will be available for a fee of $25 per event.

A motion to increase the permit fee for solicitors failed on a 2-3 vote. Commissioner Evans Woehlecke joined Shefferd and Collins in voting against the motion.

City Clerk Tish Sims recommended the changes, which will be brought back in ordinance form for approval.
