Rock Island Inspection Commission Minutes
The meeting commenced with the approval of the amended agenda. Under New Business, the commission discussed the Inspection Division Fee Update Presentation, focusing on proposed updates and potential new permit fees. Key discussion points included the potential impact on economic development, the suggestion to foster dialogue with local communities regarding fees, and the proposal to increase plan review fees, possibly drawing comparisons to Moline's structure. The commission ultimately agreed that a gradual fee increase structure would be the preferred approach, incorporating transparency and differentiating between commercial and residential fees. Finally, the schedule for 2026 was approved with a change in the start time from 6:00 PM to 5:30 PM.
