Summary

County staff said an interlocal agreement would let the county provide commercial plan review and permitting services to Andover; fees from the work will be returned to the county department, and the arrangement is presented as cost-neutral and avoiding a full-time FTE for Andover.

Tom told commissioners the county has worked on an agreement with Andover to provide commercial plan review and permitting services and asked Chris to summarize the arrangement. He described the proposed arrangement as beneficial and largely cost-neutral.

"It's a beneficial cost neutral kind of, situation where, the fees and the charges for the services will come back into Chris's, department," Tom said, noting the arrangement helps Andover avoid hiring a full-time planner for services that do not justify an FTE. Tom said the county already extends similar services to other class-2 and -3 cities and counties.

Staff indicated they will present details during the budget presentation and at the May 7 meeting; no vote was taken during the agenda review.
