PRESENTATION OF ON-LINE PERMIT SEARCHAPPLICATION <br />Community Development Director Robert Keating reviewed his memorandum dated <br />October 1, 2012, provided a demonstration of the On -Line Permit Search Application software <br />program that was recently installed on the home page of the County's website, and thanked the <br />individuals involved with developing the program. He said that staff is still pursuing e - <br />permitting, and would like to reach the point where all permitting can be accomplished over the <br />Internet. <br />During the demonstration, Commissioner Davis suggested adding a link to report <br />unlicensed contracting activity, modifying the program to make it more user friendly by <br />inputting just the house number of the address, and adding the Health Department to the database <br />(or a link) for septic permit inquiries. <br />A lengthy discussion ensued among the Commissioners and staff regarding the permit <br />process, fees associated with obtaining/closing permits, the significance of an open permit, <br />closing expired permits, homeowner/contractor responsibilities, and adding a comment section to <br />the program. <br />Charles Wilson, 1057 6�' Avenue, complimented staff on their accomplishments with the <br />on-line permit search application program, believing it to be a huge step forward for economic <br />reasons. He said there are about 5,000 open permits on the Treasure Coast, and Indian River <br />County has done a good job cleaning up its open permits. <br />>p <;. �,a e� Octgber�9, 2;Q12 <br />iii. <br />16 <br />S,• � <br />'j <br />
