00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:14,079
as I spoke with Michelle as she sent us
some information some of the fees are

142
00:15:11,199 --> 00:15:20,639
recommend substantially
Michelle is willing to go with a couple

143
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:27,279
of amendments to what she sent us those
being raising the building permit review

144
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:32,720
fee from $5 per thousand construction to
$6 as opposed to $7 for a year and see

145
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:36,880
how that how much that brings in to
cover it. And also the same thing for

146
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:44,560
the zone permits from five to six for,
instead of seven. And the only other one

147
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:51,120
was to uh establish a 25%
penalty for work done without fair

148
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:55,199
containing a permit to judge the uh the
impact that

149
00:15:53,199 --> 00:16:00,320
there's some folks that you see often
doing this. So if that's not sufficient,

150

151
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:10,240
concerned about these going up so much
all discourage especially first beer for

152
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:15,040
some folks doing work. The other one
hopefully that's enough of penalty to

153
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:20,800
let folks know they need to get the
permits but maybe not as extreme. Okay.

154

either. So that I make that question.
