Summary

The committee advanced an ordinance from the Department of Building Inspection clarifying that multiple data sources may be used to determine permit fees; DBI said the change is procedural and aimed at removing confusion.

Bill Strachan of the Department of Building Inspection told the committee the ordinance clarifies how DBI compiles its cost schedule and that "DBI... in putting together its cost schedule... is based on multiple data sources." He framed the change as a clarification to remove confusion about permit-fee calculations for contractors.

There was little discussion and no public comment. Supervisor Kim moved and Supervisor Wiener seconded a motion to forward the item with a positive recommendation to the full Board; the committee passed the motion unanimously.
