RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Committee receive and file the presentation.
BACKGROUND:
On April 6, 2026 in the inaugural meeting of this committee, staff presented an outline of the initiatives occurring in the Development Services Department to streamline building permit activity. The discussion included the City’s Electronic Plan Review System.
Staff will provide a real-time demonstration from two perspectives: 1. The electronic building permit process as it pertains to the applicant’s submittal requirements and 2. Observing the behind the scenes access for how staff evaluates and approves building permits.
Mr. Derrick Clark will provide the demonstration for how an applicant submits a building permit. Mr. Ali Rasheed will then show the staff’s process for permit evaluation.
City management and supervisors also use this data to ensure permit timelines are being monitored.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal request as part of this presentation.
