Agenda 10/10/2017 Item #11H10/10/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to direct staff to meet with the Development Services Advisory Committee
(DSAC) and the Collier Building Industry Association (CBIA) to explore potential emergency
permitting processes and building permit fee considerations during declared disasters and provide
subsequent recommendations to the Board.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the need to provide assistance to community members who have incurred
damage during declared disasters by providing emergency permitting processes and building permit fee
considerations.
CONSIDERATIONS: Staff is requesting to work with DSAC, CBIA, and the County Attorney’s Office
(CAO) to determine the requirement for a recommendation to the Board for establishing emergency
permitting processes and building permit fee considerations during declared disasters. Meetings with
DSAC and CBIA will be publicly advertised, and will be held at the Development Services building at
2800 N. Horseshoe Drive. Staff will continue to contact other Florida Counti es to identify measures and
best practices implemented throughout the State.
It should be noted that a Board-approved reduction totaling $1.6 million in building permitting and
inspection fee revenue was implemented on October 1st, 2017. The result of the proposed meetings and
direction to act upon future decisions may further impact enterprise fee revenue within the Growth
Management Department. No General Fund contributions are made to these enterprise funds (113, 131).
Staff anticipates presenting recommendations developed with DSAC, CBIA, and the CAO at a future
Board meeting during the 2nd quarter of fiscal year 2018. Any recommendations that may be adopted by
the Board may be applied retroactively to previously declared emergencies.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this executive summary; however,
future established policies and fee considerations could impact enterprise fund operations.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management plan impact associated with
this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to
form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation to direct staff to meet with the Development Services
Advisory Committee (DSAC) and the Collier Building Industry Association (CBIA) to explore potential
emergency permitting processes and building permit fee considerations during declared disasters and
provide subsequent recommendations to the Board.
