VIOLATION HEARINGS: None BUILDING OFFICIAL MATTERS: Mr. Eseltine told the Board he was at the meeting because of the workshop that took place on 3/29/05 to discuss the penalties for violations, possibly changing the City Ordinance regarding penalties for unlicensed activities and work without permits. He said he was working with Rich Stringer who was also at the workshop meeting. V.C. Morris asked what the Boards function would be in the future. Mr. Eseltine was hoping to see more violations go to the Board and working in conjunction with the Police Department. A new Code Enforcement Officer is going to be hired to help track down unlicensed activity. At the meeting Rich Stringer had talked about several methods, one being through the State Stahltory Requirements. We would go out and issue a violation that has a fine attached to it. If they want to appeal it, then it comes to the Board. At this point they are not only subject to the tine of the ticket but it can also go up to $1,000.00. Right now there are unsafe structures. We have begun to give notice to these hurricane- damaged structures that are not getting fixed. Ifwe order them to be demolished and they don't do it within the time frame we give them, usually 60 days, then they would appear before the Construction Board and it will be your decision if the City will take action, demolish the structure and then lien the property. V.c. Morris asked Mr. Eseltine to give his feelings on fines and penalties. He said that he tried to summarize it on the paperwork he put together. As a quick deterent, work without a pennit - an owner, $100.00, a licensed contractor, $250.00. You can also impose a tine on a contractor using an unlicensed person on ajob. V.C. Morris about homeowners who hire unlicensed contractors. Mr. Eseltine explained we eould pursue the statutory requirements. When pulling a permit, they sign an affidavit at the counter for owner/builder pennit as per statutory requirements. If they fail to adhere to it, they can be arrested for doing contracting work. Mr. Eseltine asked the Board where penalty fees are concerned, what they wanted to recommend to be put into the City Ordinance. MOTION: Morris/Conover I make a motion as a Board, we accept Waynes' letter as a basic principal letter to go to Richard Stringer for adoption to the ordinance.
