The Town has requested the following modifications to the contract:: <br />1. The Town Inspector will participate in plans review and corresponding inspections where a <br />Certificate of Occupancy is issued in conjunction with the County. <br />2. The County will provide preceptorship until such time that all Level Three facilities are <br />inspected within the Town when the Town's inspector receives Level Three Certification. <br />For fiscal year 2001-2002, the agreement with the Town would be for the County to continue <br />performing Level Three fire inspections; as well as retaining inspection authority for county- <br />owned facilities, schools, and Department of Social Services facilities. The County would also <br />continue its participation in approving building plans as part of the County's plans review <br />process. The renewal agreement also clarifies ,that the enforcement responsibility and <br />accompanying liability for Level One and Level Two inspections rests with the Town. <br />2 <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The fire .inspection agreement with the Town provides no net financial <br />gain for the County, as revenue offsets the County's expenses in performing inspections. <br />Anticipated revenue for the Town is expected to be approximately $3,300 to $4,900 (depending <br />on the number of reinspections) due to the number of inspections that will be conducted (Level <br />Three only). There should be little impact on overall County revenue as inspection not <br />performed on Hillsborough's behalf will be conducted on facilities requiring inspection in the <br />County's jurisdiction. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the agreement <br />with the Town of Hillsborough and authorize the Chair to sign it, subject to final, review by the <br />County Attorney and approval of the agreement by the Hillsborough Board of Commissioners. <br />
