Committee recommends 3C building‑inspector contract after trimming enforcement clause

May 27, 2025

The committee recommended a revised contract with 3C for building‑inspection services—an 85/15 revenue split and $75/hour out‑of‑scope rate—contingent on striking a clause that required the inspector to spend one hour per week actively enforcing unpermitted work.

The full story

Administrator Rindy presented a more formalized contract with 3C for inspection services that sets an 85/15 split of permit fees in the city’s favor, instead of prior arrangements the city had used (80/20) or other municipalities’ 90/10 splits. The contract clarifies that the contractor will be paid 85% only after a permit is approved and paid, and it includes a $30 fee for expired applications processed after 90 days.
