I KERING Report Number: BLD 03-14
Date: December 8, 2014
From: .Thomas Melymuk
Director, City Development
Subject: Building By-law Amendments under the Building Code Act
Recommendation:
1. That the City's Building By-law 7362/14 which appoints the Chief Building •
Official, Deputy Chief Building Official and Inspectors be amended as set out in
Appendix#1 to Report BLD 03-14; and
2. Further, that the City's Building By-law 7362/14 which prescribes Fees Payable
for Building Permits be amended as set out in Appendix#1 to Report BLD 03-14.
Executive Summary: This report recommends that the appointments schedule of
the City's Building By-law 7362/14 be amended to reflect the appointment of an
Inspector. This report also recommends that the fees payable schedule of the same
by-law be updated to reflect a fee type that was approved within the City's Fees By-law, •
but not included within the fees payable schedule included within report BLD 02-14.
Financial Implications: Update to Schedule B - Part B, Fees Payable for Building
Permits to reflect approved amendments to the Fees By-law. •
Discussion:
Council currently has in place By-law 7362/14, which is required to provide for the
administration and enforcement of the Building Code Act within the City. This By-law
includes a schedule of persons appointed pursuant to that Act. The recent resignation
of Curtis Greenham (effective September 12, 2014) and retirement of Taylor Young .
(effective September 30, 2014) as inspectors and the recent hiring of Andy Westcott
as an inspector effective November 24, 2014) requires that the respective names be
removed and added to Schedule A.
This By-law also includes a schedule of fees payable for Building Permits within the
City, pursuant to the Act. Recent updates to Schedule B— Part B, Fees Payable for
Building Permits in June 2014 did not include one particular fee type, entitled Revision
to Permit (All Other Building Types). An amendment to Schedule B to include this fee
type, as reflected in the Fees By-law, will correct this omission from the Building By-law.
This amendment appears as item 3 (b) on page 2 of Schedule B.
