From: Thomas Melymuk
Director, City Development

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 fee amendments that were approved within the City's
Fees By-law.
Financial Implications: Update to Schedule B — Part B, Fees Payable for Building

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 hiring of
Adam Fowler as an inspector (effective August 25, 2014) requires that the
respective name be added to Schedule A.
This By-law also includes a schedule of fees payable for Building Permits within the
City, pursuant to the Act. With Council's approval of a new Fees By-law on March
23, 2015, the respective areas within the Building By-law,must also be amended.
These housekeeping amendments appear in Schedule B.
