The hearing will be held downtown at John Ferraro Council Chamber, Room 340, City Hall,
Building permit fee waivers, which were signed by L.A. Mayor Karen Bass in April, will once again come before the full L.A. City Council at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, February 3. The Mayor may write an executive order, but until the full council approves it, the paper that it’s written on is basically less useful than toilet paper.
Many Palisades residents have already journeyed downtown three times to speak on the need to waive fees. Most have a large gap between what insurance will pay and the cost of construction in Los Angeles. Building permit fees could range between $40,000 to more than $80,000 and could make the difference between rebuilding.
Residents have spoken in front of the City Budget and Finance Committee twice and in front of the City Council once. In December the City Council sent it back to Finance.
It has now bounced back from finance to the full council and if you don’t have a job or can take time off from work, it might be helpful to have residents in the Chamber to speak on agenda item 25-0006-S57.
The item will be heard in the John Ferraro Council Chamber Room 340, City Hall, 200 North Spring Street.
