Dear Tip:
It is hoped the Urban Administration Committee will undertake
discussion of:
Legislation to effect changing the double taxation to
a basis of equity. This would require legislation
that resolution of the problem shall be a question
of what is "fair and equal" instead of the present
"real and substantial".
Opposition to a state mandate for certified building
officials; plus requiring that all buildings, above
two stories, be inspected by an engineer; and the
engineer to be paid for by the municipality; and
restrict all building ~evenues for use only by the
building divisions.
This discussion should also include preparation of
legislation (if the above Committee recommendation passes)
to require the building division to be an enterprise function;
supported only by the revenue it generates; requiring all
building permit fees to be adjusted to generate revenues
to make the building division self-sustaining; and prohibiting
any fiscal support of the building division by any funds other
than those generated by the building permit fees.
Very truly yours,
CITY OF SANFORD
