On the June 14th Council agenda there is a report recommending a new fee schedule for building permits and a phase in schedule for the recommended increases. Having read the report  there is no question, in my mind, as to the appropriateness of the proposed increases as they are long overdue. If this is a subject of interest I recommend signing in for the live stream as there will be a presentation on the matter. To read the report and all the appendices see the Committee of Whole agenda and scroll down.
