INITIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPORTUNI'TY (Who, What, When, Where, Why): Currently Chapter 220 gives certain authority to the Dept. of Public Works for issuing permits to deposit clean fill on private property. Chapter 33 of the Leg. Code authorizes the Building Official in LIEP to issue grading permits for land filling activities in conjunction with construction. LIEP also enforces erosion/sediment control practices associated with land filling activities. Having two permitting authorities presented enforcement problems for staff and confusion for the public. Per an'a agreement with Public Works in 1994, the Building Inspection Section of LIEP took over responsibilities for issuing fill permits. The proposed amendments to the ordinance would legally recognize this agreement and rovide the necessary enabling language. VANTAGES IF APPROVED: 1)Provides one place for the public to obtain a permit. 2)Eliminates historical enforcement problem by making one agency responsible for compliance monitoring. 3)LIEP's business is issuing permits and licenses on private property. Since ost of these land filling activities occur on private property the shift of this res onsibility from Public Works to LIEP is appropriate. DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVED: one ISADVAI3`TAGES IF 230T APPROVED: Continuing the dual permitting function in both Public Works and LIEP is an inefficient delivery of services to the public and is inconsistent with current state and county rules.

INITIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPORTUNI'TY (Who, What, When, Where, Why): Currently Chapter 220 gives certain authority to the Dept. of Public Works for issuing permits to deposit clean fill on private property. Chapter 33 of the Leg. Code authorizes the Building Official in LIEP to issue grading permits for land filling activities in conjunction with construction. LIEP also enforces erosion/sediment control practices associated with land filling activities. Having two permitting authorities presented enforcement problems for staff and confusion for the public. Per an'a agreement with Public Works in 1994, the Building Inspection Section of LIEP took over responsibilities for issuing fill permits. The proposed amendments to the ordinance would legally recognize this agreement and rovide the necessary enabling language. VANTAGES IF APPROVED: 1)Provides one place for the public to obtain a permit. 2)Eliminates historical enforcement problem by making one agency responsible for compliance monitoring. 3)LIEP's business is issuing permits and licenses on private property. Since ost of these land filling activities occur on private property the shift of this res onsibility from Public Works to LIEP is appropriate. DISADVANTAGES IF APPROVED: one ISADVAI3`TAGES IF 230T APPROVED: Continuing the dual permitting function in both Public Works and LIEP is an inefficient delivery of services to the public and is inconsistent with current state and county rules.
