City to pursue new permitting software to support county billing and inspections
Summary
Staff said the city will move to a new building-permit software to be able to separately track county work and recover costs through fees if the county contracts inspections and permitting to the city.
Staff told the commission the city needs to transition to a new building-permit software to support potential contracts with the county for inspections and billing.
"Software expense includes transitioning to a new building permit software," staff said, explaining the current system is insufficient to keep county work separate and that any fee structure should offset the city's costs.
Staff said negotiations with the county are ongoing; the city would aim to recoup any costs through permit fees or a fee agreement with the county. Commissioners asked staff to return with estimates showing how county billing could offset software and staffing costs before the final budget.
