The fees and charges set forth on Exhibit "A" are exclusive of fees and charges required by the State of Minnesota for electrical permits and inspections. 4. A reinspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or reinspection when a portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete or when corrections called for are not made. This item is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this code, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is ready for inspection or reinspection. Reinspection fees may be assessed when the permit card is not properly posted on the work site, the approved plans are not readily available to Building Official, for failure to provide access on the date for which inspection is requested, or for deviating from plans requiring the approval of Building Official. The reinspection fee imposed shall be payable by the permitee to City. In instances where reinspection fees have been assessed, no additional inspection of the work will be performed until the required fees have been paid. Page 20
