Tables propose annual business survey and interdepartmental permitting review to support local businesses
Summary
A table recommended adding an annual business survey to capture business experiences with permits and licensing and proposed a new action (4.9) to review interdepartmental efficiencies in permitting and inspections to improve business operations and communication between departments.
A group recommended adding an annual business survey to capture the experiences of local businesses with permits and licensing, noting that the community survey focuses on resident issues while businesses have different needs. The Committee member said an annual survey could collect feedback on permitting interactions and service experiences.
The group also proposed adding item 4.9 to implement a process for reviewing interdepartmental efficiencies in permitting and inspections (for example, solar-panel installations), and to work with staff to identify communication improvements across departments. Staff and commissioners agreed to move this topic into the economic development section for further drafting.
