/2. December Ist, 1975

municipalities was submitted with the report, and it was noted that

rates proposed by the Committee do not appear to be excessive.

Moved by Alderman Keryluk:

Seconded by Alderman Thompson:

That the recommendation of the Building & Protection Committee as
set forth in a report from the Senior Building Inspector, November 27th,
1975, that the plumbing permit rates in the City's Building & Plumbing
Code Administration By-law be increased from $4.00 for the installation
of one fixture; $3.50 for each additional fixture up to ten; and $3.00
for each additional fixture over ten to $6.00 a fixture up to ten and

$5.50 a fixture thereafter, be approved. Carried.
Alderman Mabbett voted against the resolution.

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, Alderman Thompson
stated he would assume there is a deficit in this fund area, and he
inquired of the Senior Building Inspector as to the actual cost. The
Senior Building Inspector a‘vised that it is difficult to determine the
cost since this depends on the volume in the coming year; however, if
the growth is the same as it is presently, the City may possibly 'break
even’ with the new rates. Alderman Thompson commented that a proposed
increase in rates is usually referred to the Finance Committee and
Alderman Keryluk stated he would have no objection to a review by the
Finance Committee. Alderman Mabbett stated his understanding of the
proposal to be that it costs more to inspect for plumbing; however, he
queried if plumbing was not just part of a series of inspections normally
done all at one time. The Senior Building Inspector advised that at the
present time about 14 separate inspections are made on a house because
if every aspect was inspected at one Stage, it would constitute a hardship
for some builders, Alderman Mabbett Suggested that the proposal be
reviewed by the Finance Committee since the increase will be about 507
and does not follow any set of guidelines discussed in preliminary talks
on budget. Alderman Laking advised the proposal came about because all
Departments were asked to review their revenues to determine whether or
not increases were required, and he commented that possibly later in the
year these rates may have to be reviewed and revised again.
