Background:
Normal permit fees for this project would be based on project value. This project is valued at one million six hundred thousand dollars.($1,600.000) . The County would break down the fees as $8,446.75 for the permit fee and $3,379.00 for the plan review fees making the grand total for all building permit fees $11,825.75.
County staff has taken in the permit application on 7/31/14 and processed the application. Plan reviews were completed and two permit numbers #15-745 (the parking structure) and #15-746 (Solar array) were assigned to this project on 8/11/15. On 8/11/15, notice was sent to the city of Douglas requesting Contractor information and fees in the amount of $11,825.75. Permits are ready to issue upon receipt of contractor name and number and payment of fees. However, subsequently, after discussions with Supervisor English, County Administrator Jim Vlahovich, and Chief Civil Deputy County Attorney Britt Hanson, Building Official Mike Izzo determined that the City was qualified to perform inspections and designated the City to do so. As a result, the County did not incur and charge the inspection fees, which would have been in the amount of $8,446.75.
Thus, the only amounts of fees at issue are the plan review fees in the amount of $3,379.00. The City has requested that the Board waive those fees. Because fee waivers are a political decision to be made by the Board, staff has no recommendation.
