The City uses private contractors to review and inspect commercial projects. Wouldn’t it make sense to open competitive bidding among theses entities to drive fees lower and save the Taxpayers money? After all, The Department of Development (Neighborhood Services) is here to establish standards and insure compliance as a service to the Citizens. Not to be a profit generator. Higher fees will certainly affect small businesses attempting to grow or improve their facilities.
A long over due efforts to bring some rules of civility to the very abused permitting section of our City code. And some teeth to help the scofflaws pay attention. Bravo.
Don, you may have it backward. Sometimes the permitting and inspection sections of BNS are abusers, not abused. Some of them are the very definition of petty bureaucrats with power who enforce their own mistaken definition of City Code.
Douglas’ comment below is but one example. If they did their jobs in an informed, timely, and efficient manner, then people wouldn’t get mad at them. It’s that simple.
We need to keep pushing for development in Marion County.
A simple wall sign permit takes 10-12 weeks, they need to have this down to 2-3 weeks. More money won’t help. Intelligents would be key.
Yes, Douglas… intelligence would be key…not intelligents.
Well needed. I’d even like to see violators be fined on a per week or per month basis until they come into compliance. Other cities charge higher penalties and on a per time of persistence basis.
