Pro-Active Inspections, High Rise Apartment Buildings

 The Corporate Services Committee reports having received the following report (June 15, 1998) from the Chief Administrative Officer, and in accordance with the direction of Council from its meeting held on June 3, 4 and 5, 1998, submits such report to Council for its information:

 Purpose:

 To report as requested on the inspection team for high rise buildings.

 Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

 There has been no budget impact as the programme has not changed.

 Recommendation:

 It is recommended that this report be received for information.

 Council Reference/Background/History:

 At the Council meeting of June 3, 4 and 5, 1998, I was asked to report to the next regular meeting of Council to be held on July 8, 1998, through the Corporate Services Committee, on the inspection team for high rise buildings that was not reconstituted and whether or not it should be reconstituted through the budget process.

 Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

 The pro-active inspection program for apartment buildings which exists in three of the districts was identified as a potential budget adjustment in the budget process. However, I did not recommend that adjustment, and there has been no change to the programs.

 Conclusions:

 There has been no change to the inspection programs for apartment buildings. The budget adjustment was not recommended.
