The Building Department should anticipate operating at nearly the same level of activity as recent years with a slight increase. The department provides administrative support to Personnel, Finance, City Administration and the Development Review process. The recent raising of the minimum permit fee appears to be providing adequate funding for the Building Department activities. 7 Questions? 8
