Commission presses staff on building fund, CAP contract and use of permitting revenues for village hall
Summary
Commissioners asked staff to analyze how much of the building/permitting fee revenue can legally be used for the new village hall and discussed renegotiating the CAP contract and fee schedule to balance developer costs and municipal revenue.
Leaders flagged a recent surge in building-department receipts tied to local development and asked whether those collections can be applied to construction of the new village hall or other capital needs. Commissioner-level questions focused on the revenue split under the CAP contract (the third‑party plan-review/inspection vendor) and on state rules that limit fee retention.
A staff representative said the contract formula changes depending on monthly collections and that the contract technically had expired but included a manager-renewal clause; staff agreed to meet CAP to discuss a renegotiated split and to present a legal analysis of what building fee proceeds the village can apply to the village-hall project. Code director Orlando Rodriguez also briefed the commission on a separate long-running building recertification case tied to a parking garage structure, noting ongoing inspections, drilling and that fines had been levied against the property owner.
