PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Rose led the Pledge of Allegiance.
PUBLIC COMMENT George "Skip" Clinton — 4720 NW Gateway, Riverside, MO
presented his concerns regarding the permit and permit fees
to re-roof his building. He claims it is not a new roof, it is a
membrane lining that is a complete cover of the old roof. He is
questioning the codes, the fees, and what the city did to earn
$750 fee. Board of Aldermen asked questions and discussed
issues with Mr. Clinton. Community Development Director Duffy
gave responses to questions of Skip and the Board. Duffy
responded that the pertnit fee is based on the total value of work
2
to be done. It was mentioned that Red-X paid a fee several years
ago for roofing, other businesses have paid these fees.
Duffy explained that typically a set of plans would be
reviewed prior to work being started to make sure ICC codes are
followed, inspections during the project and then one when a final
inspection is ready and in this instance we were not called that
final inspection was ready. Load impacts on roofs must be
considered for industrial, multi-family, and commercial structures
because the general public may enter into those structures. It was
also noted by the Board that communication is very important and
not to hesitate to pick up the phone and call city hail. Mayor Rose
stated that the Board will review the codes, but we are not able to
change the code for work already done.
