FWB BUILDING INSPECTIONS - Manager Burns reported that the City of Fort Walton Beach would like to start performing Shalimar’s building inspections.  Manager Burns would like this to start before the county starts their courthouse annex renovation.  He is comparing the fees of Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa County but feels that they will be comparable.  Everyone on the Planning and Zoning Board were in favor of recommending to the Commission that the Town enter into an agreement with the City of Fort Walton Beach as long as the fee structure does not exceed the current county fees.
