Deliberate and act on the contract with Bureau Veritas and employment of Building Official <br />and /or Inspector. <br />Council Member Biard said that he had asked for this item, because they discussed it during <br />budget time. He said the three complaints he had received were that it took too much time to get a <br />building permit and the policing of unlicensed contractors. Kevin Carruth asked that Council <br />Member Biafd'get with him to get the specific details, so that staff could check into the matters. <br />Mr. Carruth gave an example where it took a long time to get a permit, because the property <br />owner's architect was delaying it. Mr. Carruth and Lee Swaim, Bureau Veritas Inspector, both <br />said that Bureau Veritas does stop and ask to see permits when they notice work being done that <br />they are not aware of and that Bureau Veritas does ask contractors to produce their professional <br />licenses when inspections are done. It was a consensus of Council to obtain a breakdown of the <br />cost of Bureau Veritas thus far and continue until they had twelve months worth of data to evaluate. <br />23.
