The purpose of this chapter is to establish requirements for inspections/operations services performed by city departments for private development projects within the city. It is the intent of this chapter to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public against inadequate, unwarranted or unsafe construction activities or operation of city facilities during nonbusiness hours. Not by way of limitation, the purposes of this chapter are:
A. To ensure the constructed work product meets city standards and to minimize hazards to life and limb;
B. To ensure that authorized operations personnel are operating city facilities that are being repaired, relocated, removed or which need to be operational during nonbusiness hours;
C. To ensure continuation of required city inspections/operations services during nonbusiness hours for construction activities then being performed;
D. To ensure the city's recovery of costs for such inspections/operations services provided during nonbusiness hours. (2001 Code § 72-7-010; amd. 2009 Code)
