BACKGROUND
The Administration recommends that the above referenced item be referred to the
Finance and Citywide Projects Committee ("Committee") to allow for a report from the
City Manager and the Building Department's new Director, Stephen Scott. The purpose
of the report will be to update the Committee on recent developments in the Department,
including the Director's work plan for the coming year, a presentation of recent initiatives
and improvements, and a discussion of changes made in response to the Watson Rice
study. Given the critical role that the Building Department plays in the City's overall
economic vitality and well being, and rapid and ongoing changes in the Department, the
Administration believes that such a report would allow for discussion and feedback from
the Committee and the City Commission regarding the Department.
