Therefore, it is determined that a minimum fee <br /> adjustment is warranted to avoid future losses in this permit category. The adjustments set forth in this <br /> ordinance are identical to those proposed to be adopted by the St.Joseph County Council for application <br /> outside the City of South Bend. The increase for each affected minimum fee is not more than Ten dollars <br /> ($10.00). <br /> To further enable the Building Department to operate on fee revenue, it is necessary to raise the <br /> various contractor registration fees from one hundred dollars($100.00)to one hundred twenty-five dollars <br /> ($125.00). <br /> I intend to present these changes at the next available scheduled meeting of the County Council. Feel free <br /> to contact me if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, wo <br /> Charles C. Bulot, C.B.O.,C.F.M. 3 - _- 1• t <br /> zalC14:1 ?
