E | Consideration and Adoption of Resolution No. 2019-40: A resolution approving an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Coconino County for shared building inspection and plan review services. | ||||||
Building Official Amy Palmer addressed Council stating that she is requesting approval of the IGA for building and plan review services. She explained that the partnership with Coconino County shows how the City and County are working together to offer as much consistency as possible in the building inspection and review process across jurisdictions. The City and County would share common resources which could potentially reduce the overall costs associated with using third party services. The partnership would also provide opportunities for cross training and experience for inspectors. For example, the City has more commercial buildings than the County so having access to that experience is helpful for County inspectors. Councilmember McCarthy expressed some concerns about lack of compensation for the work but indicated he will support the efforts. Councilmember Salas indicated that opportunities to share resources can be of mutual benefit for both parties because of the high load of building inspections. She also believes that having consistent inspection processes will bring better customer service to the community. |
