team which studied the Certificate of Occupancy process, introduced the
members of the team who then proceeded to brief Council on various aspects
of their study. Stacey Creveston, Con~nunity Development Agency, showed
slides demonstrating the Certificate issuance process; Marvin Ellenbecker,
Planning and Building Agency, explained bottlenecks in the process using
"before" and "after" flowcharts; Gary Mack, Planning and Building Agency,
described occupancy approval procedures and the citation program; and
