Summary
The Building Department is operating with one Building Official, one
Building Inspector and two administrative personnel.
The Building Department should anticipate operating at nearly the
same level of activity as recent years with a slight increase. The
department provides 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.
