1. 9/26/2017 CO Introduced: TEU,F Bill Summary Defer (At request of
the Committee) Though the Committee ultimately did not
take up the bill as an emergency, a fairly lengthy discussion ensured prior
to the deferral. Council Member John Crescimbeni wanted to
know what the nature of the emergency was. Phillip Peterson, Council Auditor’s Office,
noted that the wording in the actual ordinance, the nature of
the emergency is that hurricane damaged structures needed to be repaired at
the earliest opportunity and that the legislation would incentivize property
owners to hasten repairs. Tom Goldsbury, Chief, Building Inspection
Division, fielded numerous questions on the costs of building permits and the
timeframe in acquiring permits. Council Member Lori Boyer was concerned
about the legislation as crafted. She
cited what she characterized as flaws.
She felt that if enacted, the legislation would exclude property
owners who had already contracted for roof and other repairs. If the legislation is enacted, she would
like to see that those property owners who have already contracted for
repairs receive retroactive permit reimbursements and that the reimbursements
not go to insurers or contractors. Council Member Jim Love felt that the
legislation should address roofing repairs solely. Council Member Aaron Bowman asked Mr.
Goldsbury if it were possible to determine whether people had roof damage
caused by the hurricane or just wanted a new roof. Mr. Goldsbury replied that it was not
possible to make that determination. Council Member Garrett Dennis explained why
he felt that the permit fee waivers were necessary and the right thing to
do. He noted how many other counties
and cities throughout the state had waived permit fees (see attachment that
Mr. Dennis had distributed). He
explained that since he wanted the best possible ordinance, he was more than
willing to defer the measure, host a noticed meeting, and discuss with other
parties on how best to improve the proposed legislation. The Chair announced that the ordinance was
being deferred. There being no
further business, the meeting was adjourned at 2:39 P.M. John J. Jackson,
