STUDY SESSION One-Stop Development Processin~ Center Deputy City Manager Swanson presented an overview of a proposed change in the way the City would review development proposals. The new approach calls for the creation of a one-stop service counter where each agency required to sign off on a permit would have a representative stationed throughout the working day. Developers of projects under $20,000 could receive all required signatures at this counter. For projects in excess of $20,000, developers will be assigned to a Staff Development Processor, a City staff member who will assume responsibility for assisting the developer obtain all required signatures and permits in a timely manner. The costs related to the operation would be covered by a new three-tenths of one percent processing fee. Deputy City Manager Swanson also introduced the idea of creating a deputy inspector program where the City qualifies someone working on a job site and paid by the developer to be a deputy inspector responsible to the City for signing off on the completion of required inspections.
