The Municipal Solicitor stated at last night's Commission Discussion Session, that the Municipality cannot treat the School District any differently than any other entity. Joe Berkley, from the Inspection Office, broke down all the fees for the Commissioners, based on what the School District submitted. The initial application was one page.

The Municipality will waive reinspection fees, since the inspectors will already be there. They are not treating the School District any differently than any other large project. Reinspection fees are charged when the inspectors have to return to the project for that reason only.
