discussion on current process with intake, how neighboring jurisdictions compare, and other possible solutions.
Board Direction: None.
Fees -Public Notification. Proposed Permit Fee Structure, and Proposed Permit Fee Calculator.
Mike presented the draft fee schedule to the Board. Mike stated mechanical fees will need to go up to help pay for themselves
and suggested a fee for cost recovery for individual and over-the-counter permits. Commissioner Jewell had a few concerns
about some of the permit fees and that the installation and purchase of certain mechanical units are barely more than the
permit fees will be. Commissioner Jewell stated this will need to be monitored yearly.
Mike presented the fee calculator to the Board. Commissioner Berndt expressed concerns with miscalculating the multiplier.
Shawn stated the CWHB are on board with the fee calculator. Shawn also stated the CWHB have some concern that the fees
