BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KALISPELL,
MONTANA, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 21-16 of the Kalispell City Code is hereby
amended to provide as follows:
"Section 21-16. Additional Inspection. If additional
inspection shall become necessary because of failure to
comply with the provisions of this article or through lack
of preparedness for the inspection, a charge of X5-00
shall be made for every such additional inspection. All
fees so assessed shall be paid to the plumbing inspector for
the city upon whose receipt only shall such additional
inspection be made."
SECTION 2. Section 21-17(b) of the Kalispell City Code is hereby
amended to provide as follows:
"(b) Fees for Permits. Before the issuance of any permit,
the plumbing inspector shall require the payment of a fee in
accordance with the following table:
"For plumbing systems containing one to two fixtures, the
fee shall be 2.•$o for each and every fixture
with a minimum fee of $,bo For each additional
fixture, the fee shall be 4,2,oa for all fixtures
in excess of the first two. A fee of /0,o0 shall
be charged for all sewer connections.
"The construction, repair and maintenance of all sewer
drains, cesspools, etc., whether public or private within
the limits of the city, shall be under the supervision and
direction of the city inspector, his authorized assistant or
duly appointed inspector. The fee shall cover location of
wyes and the establishment of grade for sewers. The contractor
shall furnish all necessary materials.
"If alterations to the plumbing of an existing building be
desired, the permit fee shall be based upon the number of
fixtures affected or replaced. No fee shall be exacted for
work generally known as maintenance work. If any work on
the constructions, alterations or repairs of a plumbing
system be commenced without a permit having first been
secured, double the fees above stated shall be exacted when
a permit is finally issued. Payment of such double fees,
however, shall in no way relieve such persons of the penal-
ties imposed for violation of this article. If work under a
permit be not commenced for six months after its issuance,
or if, after partial completion, the work is discontinued
for the period of one year, the permit thereupon shall
become void and no work shall be done at the premises until
a new permit shall have been secured.
