Some of the merchants have not paid their sign inspection fees for three years, and the City is still paying for the insurance and not being r epid. Therefore ask that the City take some definite means of collecting these fees. Also out of these fees the building and Electrical Inspector receive their compensation for the inspection, if the fees are not paid the inspectors get nothing for making the inspections, required of them by ordinance. 1 (letter cont'd) have I do not believe that it is fair, to/the City pay the insurance and not be reinbursed, nor do I think its is fair to ask the inspectors to follow the ordinance and make the inspections, without compensation.
