~~~ In other business, President Warthen presented the Council with ahand-out showing the current building permit fees and some figures to consider raising them to, as compared to surrounding areas, including Brooklyn, Martinsville, Morgan County and Hendricks County. He stated that in some cases, as with a Special Exception, the filing actually goes before the Planning Commission first and then has to go before the Board of Zoning Appeals as well, and that the cost of paying the members of those boards should at least be covered by the cast of the filing. Councilman Clark stated that he thought some of the suggested increases were too high. Joe Beikman, Building Inspector, stated that with some of these building projects requiring nnultiple inspections, you are putting the cost of the labor on the person who is causing the extra work. President Warthen stated this would be on the agenda for the next meeting and asked the members to look over the information in the packet between now and then. He stated that he felt they would see that instead of the proposed figures being too high that our fees are actually too low right now.
