Requested inspections that exceed one hour shall be charged $60.0017.50 for each thirty minutes, or fractional part thereof, in excess of one hour. For the purpose of determining the cost of a requested inspection, the time shall include all travel, inspection, research and clerical time. SPECIFIC TIME INSPECTION REQUESTS: This section allows a contractor or owner to request a specific time (within 10 minutes) for an inspection. A specific time may be requested between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday with the exception of holidays. The fee for each Specific Time Inspection Request is $50.00. REINSPECTION FEE: A re-inspection fee of $12035.00 may be assessed for each inspection or re- inspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete or when corrections are not made. This section is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of the applicable building, plumbing, electrical or mechanical code(s), but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or reinspection. Re-inspection fees may be assessed when the inspection record card is not available on the work site; the approved plans are not readily available to the inspector, for failing to provide access on the date for which inspection is requested, or for deviating from the approved plans. ---PAGE BREAK--- Draft December 31K24, 2009 In instances where a reinspection fee has been assessed, no additional inspections of the work, or project, will be performed until the reinspection fee has been paid.

The council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase and words thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases or words have been declared invalid or unconstitutional, and if for any reason this ordinance should be declared invalid or unconstitutional, then the remaining ordinance provisions will be in full force and effect.
