PAUL DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SERVICES DIVISION OF HOUSING AND BUILDING CODE ENFORCEMENT 445 City Hall, St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 . Phone 612-298-4212 October 10, 1974 � Members of the City Council St. Paul, Minnesota Honorable Council: Attached is the proposed ordinance amending the building permit fee schedules and establishing fees for plan review. This proposed ordinance is expected to generate upwards of $120, 000.00 of additional revenue and is based on the increased inspection costs sin�ce the last major revision in 1967. .�-� The ordinance has been circulated to the various industry organizations asking for their comments and only one concern has been received which indicated that perhaps the minimum inspection � fee was higher than what the state collects for a similar service. - - Reviewing our costs, the m�nimum fee, as the ordinance indicates, reflects our cost for an inspection.
