Council refines building‑code complaint process; staff to limit independent review to completed projects with exceptions

Director Mark presented the second quarterly update on the Building Division Corrective Action Plan and described the independent reviewer function created by Ordinance 655. He said the independent reviewer provides a nondestructive, visual review for eligible complaints and that a substantiated determination by the reviewer can lead to a strike against a permit applicant; the council adopted a two‑strike suspension rule earlier and staff noted the first strikes may be issued in the next reporting period.
