APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract with
the City of Hercules (the City) for an indefinite term, until terminated as set forth in the contract, to provide building
inspection and planning services to the City and to collect building permit fees and cost reimbursement from the City
to offset the cost of providing such services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) will receive building permit fees and cost
reimbursement from the City of Hercules to offset the cost of services provided.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Hercules has recently experienced significant staffing reductions that have left the City with an
insufficient number of staff to carry out certain building inspection and planning functions. As a result, the City has
expressed interest in contracting with the County Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) to provide
building inspection and planning services to the City.
At the Hercules City Council meeting on February 11, 2014, the City Council approved the proposed contract and
adopted changes to the City’s fee schedule to align building inspection and planning fees with those charged by DCD.
Under the terms of the proposed contract, DCD will collect and retain building permit fees for building permits issued
within the City of Hercules to offset the cost of providing building inspection services to the City.
