He was asked to come <br /> to the Planning Department within ten days of receiving the <br /> letter to speak to the Inspections Supervisor. Mr. Grady <br /> signed for the letter on October 17 but did not pursue <br /> application of the requisite permits and inspections. <br /> Mr. Grady has been informed that this item has been placed <br /> on the Board' s agenda for consideration. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends initiation of legal proceed- <br /> ings against James Grady. <br />
