SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In 2002, approximately 40 permits were issued for
new homes. In 2003, 108 permits were issued for new homes. This dramatic increase in workload is expected to continue in 2004. The Community Development Director and Building Inspector
have been working on a proposal to have the plan review portion of the building permit process conducted by a contract employee, as well as a redistribution of some other administrative
work. These changes will allow the Building Inspector to focus almost exclusively on inspections. It will also require that the added costs of contracting the plan review be passed on
to building permit applicants. Both the Building Code and McCall City Code allow these costs to be passed on. In addition, turn-around time for building permits may be increased by up
to two weeks.
At a future meeting, both a revised fee schedule and a contract will be presented for Council review and action. A public hearing will be necessary to increase the fees.
