5-1-5: BUILDING PERMITS FOR CITY PROJECTS OR PUBLIC ENTITIES:
A building permit will be issued free of charge to any person, firm, or contractor who is awarded the bid by the city for the construction of a public facility.
However, this fact must be specifically stated in the bid specifications prepared on behalf of the city and approved by the building official or his designee for each project.
A public entity may, upon making application and upon approval of the city council, be exempted from the fees provided for in this chapter. However, the applicant shall be responsible for any additional costs incurred by the city with regard to its particular project. (Ord. 1528, 6-22-2009)
