The Herkimer Village Board of Trustees held a public hearing Monday on its proposal to increase certain fees on everything from reserving a park to building a fence.
The proposed local law was passed unanimously and took effect immediately.
Many fees for permits and certain services will increase by $5. Several new fees, penalties and deposits will also be added to the village fee schedule if the board adopts the local law.
