Thanks for that, Cat.
For ideas about getting something in place sooner rather than later, the same as with privatization, I will approach the issue by listening to and learning from people in the community who deal with building on a day-to-day basis.
And, when ideas are put forth, I will ask, "Are there examples of it being done in some form elsewhere?" and "Is it possible to provide this as an option, rather than an all-or-nothing approach? Perhaps in the form of a pilot?"
That said, the Mayor is the elected official who has the authority to most quickly affect turnaround time on building permits, being the person with exclusive responsibilities for supervising and coordinating County agencies.
