To better ensure that developers do not obtain building permits before they pay the fee to the improvement fund, the county needs to finalize its improvement fund management procedures regarding the collection of the fee and the reporting of that collection to Public Works.Specifically, such policies should include a protocol for how Regional Planning communicates the amount due to Beaches and Harbors.
