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 would be needed as set forth in this ordinance. In addition, advanced technology has <br />created a need for regulations and inspections of low voltage installations as set forth in this <br />ordinance. Further, the increasing demand for formal documentation of various zoning <br />regulations and compliance has created a need for fees related to processing of these documents. <br />All document fee increases are based on 2008 year-end average hourly overhead costs for <br />one-hour and two-hour processing times. <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 />Charles C. Bulot <br />Building Commissioner <br />~il~d Ifl ~t~Cv ~ ~~s6~~ <br />JAN 2 0 2009 <br />
