Council amends and approves roofing-permit fee ordinance on second reading
Summary
Council approved amendments to Torrington Municipal Code Section 5.26.040 on roofing permit fees. Council clarified contractor licensing language (requiring a "general roof contractor's license"), set residential roofing permit fee at $150 per address and specified use of the current International Residential/Building Code.
On second reading council considered an ordinance amending section 5.26.040 of the Torrington Municipal Code to clarify roofing permit fees and contractor licensing. Mr. Addington read the ordinance title and summary language; Clerk/Treasurer Lynette Strecker and council members discussed wording changes intended to remove ambiguity between general contractor and a specialized roofing contractor license.
Key clarifications adopted by the council included inserting a requirement that roofers hold a "general roof contractor's license" prior to contracting for roof installations, setting residential roofing permit fees at $150 per address, and specifying that fee schedules reference the current International Residential/Building Code (and the current International Building Code for commercial work) to avoid future confusion.
Councilman Deal moved to approve the ordinance on second reading as amended; Councilman Kelly seconded. After discussion the ordinance was approved on second reading as amended.
