Old Business

President Adams said he has spoken with Tim Walsh, Director of Mohave County’s Development Services. They talked about the complaints to the Building Department regarding their requesting Geo Techs inspections which costs around $15,000. Hopefully we can straighten this out. The City of Bullhead City is also getting ridiculous with permits and inspections in getting building inspections. We are still battling sales tax and impact fees. The whole world is trying to figure out how to produce affordable housing.
