Memorandum
Date: March 10, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Rob Brown, District 5 Supervisor
Subject: Discussion and Consideration of inspections done by our Building and Safety Division and by local fire departments
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Our Community Development Department - Building and Safety (B&S) Division is required to conduct various building inspections. I am recently advised that local fire departments are also conducting various building inspections within their districts as a courtesy.
I am requesting discussion with our Board and staff regarding the inspections B&S is required to complete. Further, I would like to clarify what inspections local fire departments are required to do for our constituents who are building or rebuilding. Inspections by B&S and local fire should not be duplicative, and related fees should not be cost-prohibitive to local development.
