He asked if <br /> 29 staff plans to track this, and if it is an anticipated problem. <br /> 30 Craig Benedict said this should not be a problem, and before one can ask for an <br /> 31 inspector from the State, one must have asked for an inspector from the County. He said the <br /> 32 County does about 90-95% of inspections within one day, and 100% are completed within 48 <br /> 33 hours, which is the required timeframe. He said he has met with the Home Builders Association, <br /> 34 which is happy with the services the County is providing. <br /> 35 Commissioner Marcoplos said this is just a goofy bill. He said when one requests an <br /> 36 inspection, and it does not occur within 48 hours, the odds favor the inspection occurring if one <br /> 37 simply waits just a few more hours, as opposed to going to the state pool. <br /> 38 Craig Benedict said his department takes inspections requests until 5:00 p.m., and still <br /> 39 manages to conduct the inspection the next day. <br /> 40 Craig Benedict said for the coming year, the Planning Department hopes to monitor new <br /> 41 legislation; push ahead with the Greene Tract project; work with the Housing Department on <br /> 42 affordable housing and zoning; and various transportation issues. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 Solid Waste <br /> 45 • Solid Waste— page 449 <br /> 46 <br /> 47 o Total Expenditure Budget - $10,040,421 <br /> 48 ■ Decrease of$3,090,221 <br /> 49 ■ Created Replacement and Renewal Fund for Capital - $2.1 Million <br /> 50 Transfer <br />
