There  Pinellas County Building Services/Flood Plain Management - Counsel noted that Pinellas County Building Services, after assuring the Town that the services that the Town had been receiving will not be interrupted. It turns out that is not the case. The County will now not be providing the services as previously done. We have 2 options: contracting with a private entity (RFP) or the Town can amend the Code of Ordinances to provide that the contractors that the residents are using would have to hire their own inspectors and qualify to pass to Pinellas County Building Services. Counsel concern is, that the feeling that she is getting is that the County does not want tot take this on for any municipalities. Counsel is looking for the Commission to decide if they would like her to create an RFP for the services to be done by the Town or if the Commission would like her to amend our Code of Ordinances. Flood Plain Management will have to be looked into further by Counsel on the Ordinance portion, since the Town does not participate in the CRS System.
