There are no risks to the County of <br />using a private provider because a private provider must have the proper credentials in order to do <br />business here. He recognized the need to consider a reduction in fees. <br />Commissioner Neuberger saw a combined need, the reduction in fees as well as <br />more staffing. <br />Administrator Baird interjected that getting certified providers is a statewide <br />problem and private providers are also difficult to find because 37 counties in the state have been <br />impacted by 4 hurricanes. The whole industry is overloaded and staff is doing all it can to correct <br />it. He credited Building Division staff for working weekends because of their enormous workload. <br />Commissioner Davis suggested a workshop could be held after staff gets the <br />numbers together. <br />Commissioner Wheeler wanted to find a reasonable solution and agreed <br />hurricane-damage should take preference over new construction. <br />Discussion ensued on prioritizing storm-related permits, how it has been done, a <br />suggestion to include in budget discussions regarding compensation to our inspectors who are <br />certified in more than one trade, and looking at the fees. <br /> <br />NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN. <br /> <br />9.B.3.
