BODY
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Schedule a public hearing to consider adoption of an ordinance to amend County Code Chapter 5, Building Regulations, Article 2, Fees
ITEM TYPE: Consent Agenda Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Richardson, Walker, Kamptner, Herrick, McCulley, Dellinger, MacCall
PRESENTER (S): NA
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: The purposes of this proposed ordinance are to provide fees for two services for which there currently is no fee, and to revise the name of the fee for alarm systems.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Mission: To enhance the well-being and quality of life for all citizens through the provision of the highest level of public service consistent with the prudent use of public funds.
DISCUSSION: The proposed ordinance (Attachment A) would amend County Code §§ 5-201, 5-202, and 5-208 to update the fee schedule for building permit-related work. It includes two new fees for services currently provided with no fee (bridge inspections and appeals to the local Board of Building Code Appeals) and a revision to the name of the fee for alarm systems. The Building Official recommends the proposed ordinance.
BUDGET IMPACT: Due to the small numbers of these permits and applications, the budget impact will be negligible.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board schedule a public hearing to consider the adoption of the attached proposed ordinance (Attachment A) at a future Board meeting.
