APRIL 15, 1958-PAGE 4
<br />Mr. Fred Crider, 31512 Lorain ?toad, requested information as to what the in-
<br />crease in building fees will be. Mr. Hinkel stated that unless Mr. Crider
<br />would actually loop at the list covering the increases, it would be difficult
<br />to give an answer. Mr. Crider stated that he was not questioning the necessit5-
<br />of an increase in the rates; but he felt that the increase should be based on
<br />the costs of operation in the department, rather than on the comparison of
<br />rates with Westlake or any other suburb. He stressed the point that taking
<br />into consideration the present tax rate of North Olmsted, it seemed strange to
<br />raise the building fees at a time when residential building was on the decrease.
<br />Mr. Hinkel stated that one of the reasons for the proposed increase was to
<br />off-set the cost of hiring a new man to help out in the department.
<br />The Mayor endeavored to answer Mr. Crider's question by stat3.ng that it was
<br />deemed advisable to increase building fees to provide for specialists and also
<br />the fees that prevailed before did not provide for adequate inspection to all
<br />sections of North Olmsted.
<br />Mr. Hinkel stated that the fees were merely being proposed and request was
<br />being made for legislation to cover and the rates were not actually being ac-
<br />cepted at this time.
