Special Bd. of Aldermen — 05/30/2018 Page 2
Bill McKinney, Building Department Manager
Bill McKinney, Building Official for the City. Most of our information was gained on studies through our
administrative expenses for the department; the time that it takes of in taking of permits, plan review, permit
issuance process and our inspection process. We also looked back through several years of what our costs
versus revenues for the Department were back to 2007 and we worked on our budget from there to come up to
our increases of what our threshold was to be between 15% and 20% of an increase overall. Individually you
will find that some of these fees were so drastically low that they needed to come up much higher than that.
Alderman Dowd
All set Alderman?
Alderman Tencza
Yes, thank you.
Alderman Dowd
Director Marchant, was your budget revenue calculated on this passing or does this have a slight increase in
your budget revenue?
Ms. Marchant
We would project if we could a slight increase to next year’s revenue. It was not included in the revenue
projections. | would say that the construction industry has its ups and downs regularly. So it is a very hard
thing to predict. We have been pretty steady recently so these fees we do think will bring in more revenue as
long as construction stays at the same pace yes.
Alderman Dowd
Not enough to change our budget?
Ms. Marchant
| don’t believe it is worth your time changing the budget.
