body
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:
The State of Oregon maintains intergovernmental agreements (IGA) with local jurisdictions that can perform commercial and residential plan review and prefabricated structure inspections when its Building Codes Division (BCD) is unable to meet demands due to staffing or resource issues. The IGA with BCD does not affect City of Salem service levels since requests from BCD are only accepted and completed if the Building and Safety Division determines that it has adequate resources and staffing available. Revenue received through the IGA covers the cost of services that the Building and Safety Division provides to BCD.
FACTS AND FINDINGS:
1. The City of Salem and the State of Oregon have maintained such an agreement since fiscal year 2005-06. Unless amended, the IGA will expire on June 30, 2017. The amendment will enable the City of Salem to continue performing commercial and residential plan review and inspections for BCD until June 30, 2020.
2. In addition to extending the timeframe for the agreement, changes were made to the contact information for the City and a fee of $100.00 per hour for engineering consultation services was added. The previous agreement did not cover engineering consultation services.
3. The amendment maintains the fees for non-engineering consultation of $65.00 per hour and 65% of the total plan review fee for plan review and re-checks. Revenue received through the IGA covers the cost of services that the Building and Safety Division provides to BCD.
