Block Exams and Licensing Fees
At the previous meeting of the Construction Board, the Board
asked me to review the possibility of requiring all
specialty contractors to take the Block and Associates
examination and to raise the fees involved.
After reviewing Chapter 7 of the Code of Ordinances, the
following amendments should be forwarded to the City Council=
Delete Section ?-95 By deleting this section, all
contractors and s. ub-contractors must take the Block and
Associates examination as required by Section ?-93.
Amend Sectio~ ?1.9 - The Board shall impose the following
fees:
The initial application fee for certification shall
be $100.00.
Once the application is approved by the Board, the
applicant must pay a fee of $100.00 for the
examination, If the examination is being taken in
Gainesville, Florida, a fee of $135.00 must be paid.
Once an applicant passes the examination, the fee of
$50.00 must be paid for the competency card to be
issued. If issued after April let of the fiscal
year, the competency fee will be $25.00.
If a competency card holder requests a letter of
reciprocity, there will be no charge for the first
letter. Any requests thereafter shall require a fee
of $15.00. No letter shall be given unless the
applicant has had a competency card issued at least
once for the City of Sebastian.
There will be a fee of $25.00 when a license is being
changed from an individual to a corporation or visa
6. There will be a fee of $5.00 for a duplicate license.

RE: Exams and Licensing Fees cont
Renewal ~ees are as follows~
a. October ! - 15 - $~0.00 + 10% penalty
b. October 16 = Hatch ~! - $30.00 + 20~ penalty
c. ~pril ! - September I - $60.00
d. Over a year - original application fee.
e. A certificate which is not renewed within three
(3) full years after expiration, may not be
renewed, restored or reinstated thereafter except
by reapplication and reexamination.
f. Inactive license - $10.00
g. Reactivate license - $20.00 - A license can be
reactivated only by application to and approval
of the Board on the proper forms.
NOTE: There will be a period of two (2) years on
an inactive license after which time license must
be reactivated or it will be null and void.
With the additional workload anticipated with this proposal,
I will request City Council to approve one additional staff
person. The increase of fees and the projection of
approximately 120 exams for the next year, the additional
revenue would justify the salary of this new person.
