MOTION CARRIED
(CONSIDER REQUEST FROM BOONE MEMORIAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
CONCERNING A FEE WAIVER ASSOCIATED WITH A BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE RE-
ROOF OF THE CHURCH BUILDING)
Aaron Seable, City Attorney at 1303 12TH Avenue,Nampa,provided the staff report outlining an overview
of the request asking that a portion of the building permit fee to be waived for work done at the Boone
Memorial Presbyterian. The request was made in writing on February 6, 2017. He noted that the City or
Idaho Code does not provide a standard for such requests. Most of the fee waivers considered by City
Council in the past have been unrelated to building permits with the exception of the Caldwell Housing
Authority. Staff did not find any record of a church having been granted a building fee waiver. He
outlined the building permit process that was followed:
• November 28,2016: A permit application was submitted for a re-roof of the subject property.
• A week later a representative of the church contacted the Building Official regarding the permit
fee which was approximately $1,300. The Building Official explained that the fee was based off
the adopted fee schedule from the value of the work being done. The category was $50,000-
$99,000 with the estimate of$80,000.
• The representative indicated that a fee waiver would be requested.
• January 31, 2016: A City Building Department inspector discovered that the job had been
completed without obtaining a building permit.
• A notice of violation was posted on the property by the Building Department.
Mr. Seable reported that Caldwell City Code (Section 12-01-15)requires that a building permit be secured
prior to the commencement of construction work. The failure to secure a permit in advance can be
prosecuted as a misdemeanor. When work commences prior to the bid being secured, Caldwell City Code
(Section 12-01-21) allows the Building Official to charge an additional amount quadruple the permit fee.
The Building Office,Brett Clark,has chosen not to apply any such penalty in this case and has encouraged
the applicant to pay the permit fee and grant access for inspection of the work that can still be inspected.
Mr. Seable noted that Ms. Alldredge had reported to him that the permit fee had been paid earlier in the
week but would still like to proceed forward with the fee waiver request.
Mr. Seable explained that the church was considered a commercial property in calculating the building
permit. In discussing the matter with the Building Official and looking at the International Building Code
(IBC), the term is generic and used to describe any type of building that is not residential. A church is
categorized with the IBC as A-3 occupancy and falls under the general category of "commercial' for
application of the fee scheduled.
He concluded that the Building Official recommends denial of the request primarily due to the fact that the
work proceeded without the permit being obtained.
BOOK 58 PAGE 26
Brent Orton, Public Works Director at 621 Cleveland Blvd., concurred with the report by the City
Attorney. He noted that staff researched the file to learn if any possible fee reductions or waivers have ever
been extended to a church. No evidence was found of any fee waivers being granted to a religious
organization or church.
In response to questions from Councilman Allgood, Mr. Orton concurred that the contractor should have
been responsible to obtain the permit and call for the inspections. The value of the work as stated on the
building permit is listed at$85,700. Contact was made with the contractor to clarify the value of the work
and staff was told that there was a significant amount of deck replacement that had to occur. It was
unknown to the building department that the work was commencing until one of the inspectors noticed at
the end of January that it was completed.
Karen Alldredge, 3107 Arlington Street, reported that Boone Memorial Presbyterian is a small
congregation. She reported that she was shocked when she went to request a building permit and was told
it would cost$1,315 in addition to the $85,000 for the roof replacement. The rules were followed with the
church obtaining the Certificate of Appropriateness since it is located within the Steunenberg Historical
District. A warranty was purchased for materials and labor regarding the roof. She asked that the permit
amount be reduced. She noted that it had been reported that no fee waiver had been found in public records
for a church;however,has there ever been a request by a church to reduce the fees?
Councilman Hopper reported that from his history as a City Council Member, there have not been any fee
waivers granted to non-profit churches. He recalled that the First Christian Church and the Lady of the
Valley Church asked for fee waivers;however,both requests were denied.
Councilman Callsen stated that churches receive City services but do not pay taxes due to their non-profit
tax status. He emphasized that the required inspections are for safety inspections and that the Building
Official could have increased the fee due to the violation but chose not to pursue any additional fee.
Mr. Seable noted that the Idaho Statute prohibits any fee being charged for more than the service provided.
The International Building Code provides a mechanism for calculating the estimated man hours in
reviewing plans,inspecting the property,and issuing the permit.
Councilman Callsen stated that if the fee is further reduced, in essence the taxpayer is picking up that
portion again. Mr. Seable concurred.
Councilman Hopper expressed his concern that the contractor should have been liable for not fulfilling the
permit requirement.
Mr. Orton reported that often the contractor is fully responsible for the building permit fee as part of the
construction agreement and should be calling in for the inspections.
Ms.Alldredge reported that the permit fee was not part of the original bid.
Councilman Stadick asked if the contractor was part of the congregation.
Ms.Alldredge stated that the contractor did not attend the church.
MOVED by Callsen, SECONDED by Hopper to waive the penalty portion of the fee but uphold the
original fee amount of$1,315 as described by the Building Official.
Councilman Stadick expressed his concern with the category of commercial being applied with the church.
Mr. Orton reported that the International Building Code stipulates residential and non-residential. The
facility classification is designated as"assembly occupancy."
Councilman Hopper clarified that facilities such as schools and public buildings are also classified as
"assembly occupancy"within the International Building Code.
