MEMORANDUM
TO: All Council Members
FROM: Nan Prushing, Acting Village Manager
SUBJECT: Fire Protection Plan Review Services
The exhibit 'A' referred to in Ordinance No. 69-87 is being revised by the
law director's office and will be distributed Monday evening. Attached is
the original proposed agreement. The revisions deal mainly with the billing
arrangement which we propose to have done directly by BOCA.
BOCA has also indicated they will work with our Commercial Plan Reviewer
(once hired) so that we may be able to eventually provide this service
in-house, at no charge.
This agreement is needed immediately to prevent a back-up on fire protection
permits - particularly with regard to the new commercial applications.
