DISCUSSION: Building Inspection Fees and Building Fee Ordinance Adjustments
ACTION: The following are suggested changes to our ordinances:
1. ACC Building codes need to be included in the ordinances.
2. 157.03 Fees – In order to make the Building Dept. self sustaining, Orr would like to implement a dollar amount per square footage for new construction permits fees in lieu of 1% of cost of construction. This would be the charge for the building permit plus inspection fees. Building Inspector Friddle agrees with the approach. This formula would also work with repairs, but possibly at a lower rate per square inch.
Orr indicated categories should include “New Construction”, Commercial, Industrial or Residential and “Alterations and Repairs” Commercial, Industrial or Residential.
3. Orr also suggested a structured permit fee table similar to Frankfort.

Studer suggested a line be included in the bid package indicating contractors need to abide by the Prevailing Wage Act with a copy of the “Rates for Work Done” as well as the “Responsible Bidding Ordinance”. Committee will review the Bidders Ordinance for the next committee meeting.
