MEMORANDUM
 
 


TO:
Pittsfield Charter Township Board of Trustees
 
THROUGH:
Mandy Grewal, Supervisor

FROM: 
Kurt Weiland, Director of Building Services

DATE:

February 10, 2021

SUBJECT:

Adopt a Resolution to increase the per inspection fee that the township may pay for independent contract building and trade inspections from $30 to $40 per inspection, Resolution #21-08


BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:

Adopt a Resolution to increase the per inspection fee that the township may pay for independent contract building and trade inspections from $30 to $40 per inspection, Resolution #21-08

BACKGROUND:

The township uses independent inspectors to supplement the full-time inspection staff. Over the years this has primarily been used for trade inspections: electrical, plumbing, and mechanical. Since 2008, we have paid $30 per inspection. With the large volume of inspections that Pittsfield Township has to offer, we have been able to pay on the lower end of the scale. Corporate contract inspection services are currently charging $81 per inspection.

IMPACT ON TOWNSHIP'S HUMAN RESOURCES:

No impact



IMPACT ON TOWNSHIP'S BUDGET:

The Building Department’s current fee schedule will cover the cost of the increase, but we will need to charge for each inspection.



IMPACT ON INDIRECT COST:

No impact



IMPACT ON OTHER TOWNSHIP DEPARTMENTS OR OUTSIDE AGENCIES:

No impact
