BACKGROUND
| On July 26, 2016 the Building Department received a complaint from Laura Knowles that Mark Musgrave has allowed three permits to expire without obtaining approval for required inspections. On the same day, Mark Musgrave called the Building department to explain the situation and ask for leniency in regards to renewal fees for the 17 permits that he has allowed to expire. On August 31, 2016, Mr. Coss received a formal written response from Mr. Musgrave indicating the reason for the expired permits was due to health issues including surgeries, hospitalization, and subsequent medication and physical therapy. Mr. Musgrave stated in his response that in July, 2016 he was able to operate his business again. As of September 1, 2016, Mr. Musgrave has renewed two of the permits and intends on reimbursing Ms. Knowles for the renewal of the third permit. Mr. Musgrave has also entered into an action plan with the building official to renew the other 14 expired permits at a rate of 2 per month until all permits have been renewed and inspected. |
