In 1993, by Ordinance No. 8412-93, subsection 1, the Board created the Building <br /> Department as an Enterprise Fund. <br /> It has been determined that in order to adequately maintain the Enterprise fund, a fee <br /> increase is needed as set forth in this ordinance. The purpose of this proposal is to aid in meeting <br /> direct costs that have consistently increased since the last adjustment. Further, the method used <br /> in figuring the fees is changing to better reflect the particular demands of more complex <br /> inspections and to charge proportionately. <br /> All fee increases are based on the ICC Building Valuation table for nation-wide square <br /> foot construction costs. Adjustments have been made to this table in order to simplify its use and <br /> better reflect the local building market. <br /> I intend to present these changes at,the next available scheduled Common Council <br /> meeting. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Filed in Clerk's tf a <br /> Charles C. Bulot, C.B.O., C.F.M <br /> Building Commissioner <br /> L.l�.�.{",, <br />
