During the public-comment period at the Aug. 21 meeting, a resident raised allegations about a local building permit and the health department's handling of a project, and urged board members to investigate.
The commenter said the matter involved a building permit for a project identified as "410 North Bay Haven" and alleged a contractor had lost a license two months earlier. "Who did what? Who signed documents? Who provided approvals? Who provided inaccurate information?" the speaker asked, adding that the issue was costing the county "hundreds of thousands of dollars." The speaker did not identify himself or provide documentary evidence during the comment period.
The board did not take formal action during the meeting in response to these comments; no motions, investigations or staff directives relating to the allegations were recorded in the meeting minutes. The record shows the remarks were part of the public-comment section rather than an agenda item.
As presented, the allegations are claims by a member of the public and were not corroborated or detailed with records during the meeting.
