The ordinance is intended to recover the City of Groton’s costs for fire-safety plan reviews, permits, inspections, and related enforcement work. Applicants would pay the fees when applying, and unpaid fees could delay additional permits; nonprofit organizations may request a waiver in writing. The council also approved a 2026 Eastern Point Beach concession agreement and created a five-member Beautification Committee.
