Celina fee updates include senior center Celina City Council members approved updates to the city’s master fee ordinance—a compilation of all city-related fees including permits, various memberships and utilities—on Oct. 8. The breakdown Included in the updates was a breakdown of the
new membership fees for the Ralph O’Dell Senior Center. Most city departments did not submit any fee changes this year—fire, emergency medical services (EMS), planning, library, health, utility, sanitation and tree mitigation will stay the same. Some context Celina staff update the fee chart regularly, Direc- tor of Development Services Dusty McAfee said. Any new fees, aside from the senior center’s fees which were approved last month, went into effect when council approved the ordinance.
