FEBRUARY BUILDING PERMIT ACTIVITY
CDS Director Dan Carlson presented PowerPoint with the
residential building permit applications and issued permits
activity for January and February of 2018-2021. Commissioner
Osiadacz asked if there was a projection if this increase would
continue throughout the year or if it was due to the code
change. Director Carlson stated he believes the increase in
permits will increase.
FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY INSPECTION VIDEO
CDS Director Dan Carlson presented Fire and Life Safety
Inspection video. Due to audio issues the link to the video will
be forwarded to the Commissioners after the meeting. Through the
SmartGov system, the Fire Marshal has been able to track what
the most common violations are. In January 2020 CDS entered into
a contract with Central Washington University video production
program to create a video of common violations and ways to
correct these violations. This video will be shared with our
businesses and posted on our website. The plan is to create more
videos on topics that would be a helpful tool for people.
Commissioner Osiadacz asked that when the videos get uploaded

update on the electronic plans project. Director Carlson stated
there have been some significant challenges but have been able
to test some permits through a training portal with SmartGov.
The goal is to work through these challenges and be up and
running by the end of this year.
