CONSIDERATIONS:
· On August 16,2004 the commission passed Emergency Ordinance No. 2004-41 waiving
the requirements for arbor permit applications and fees associated with Hurricane Charley
for thirty (30) days which expired September 15, 2004.

by contractors.

permits and waived $2436.50 in fees. There is no record of storm related arbor permits.

issued 74 storm related building permits and waived $5843.00 in fees. There is no record
of storm related arbor permits

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the commission reconsider the six month waiver of building permit fees and
extend only for another sixty (60) days and re-instate arbor permit application for record keeping.
