ultimately having five letters of corrections and the inefficiency <br /> and ineptitude of a plan checker looking at a set of plans and <br /> coming up with here's one thing I want corrected...you send it <br /> out...I want engineering...we have to find an engineer. That can <br /> take weeks cause they're all very, very, very, very busy. Then we <br /> have to get on a schedule...then we have a thousand...two <br /> thousand dollars of expenses...then we have to make corrections in <br /> plans...reprint...resubmit. Now going thru that once is fine...I <br /> have no...I'm not here to complain about the codes <br /> especially...I'm here to complain about the process and then when <br /> you get another plan check back saying well we want more <br /> engineering. Just vaguely saying engineering is not a very <br /> efficient answer to anybody submitting a plan. There's load <br /> engineering, lateral engineering all kinds of engineering goes <br /> on...so they're not saying what kind of engineering...give us <br /> engineering. And then two and half months later you find out oh <br /> that's not the engineering we want...we want something else. <br /> Then a month or so goes by and then they oh we need some other <br /> stuff. I mean this just went on and on and on...it's cost my client <br /> thousands and thousands of dollars...when you're renting a home <br /> to shelter your family while you're waiting to build a house...the <br /> impact is substantial and for many customers can be the difference <br /> between being able to build a home or not...because they figure <br /> their budgets very tightly. Now the second aspect that I will be <br /> bringing evidence in involves impartiality on the part of Daniel <br /> Lee who's the plan checker...and in that regard I'd like to at some <br /> appropriate point...question his intentions as an engineer as he <br /> applies the code equally and impartially and fairly to all County <br /> residents. Now when these issues came to ahead after some time <br /> and consideration...I did what I thought was the proper service of <br /> sending a...Warren Lee...which you have a copy of my letter to <br /> him indicating the nature of my complaints and my intentions to <br /> file an ethics complaint. It was my simple expectation as a <br /> taxpayer in this County...that being a...made aware of complaints <br /> pending against his departments that....I'm sorry about the phone I <br /> thought I turned it off..the...the head of the public safety public <br /> works department contacted me to see if we could resolve this <br /> without having to take up your time. Now that letter was delivered <br /> on August 22...to this date I have not received response from <br /> one...from the Department of Public Works. And I'm of the <br /> opinion that there's a responsibility under the Ethics Code to be <br /> responsive...to matters brought to their attention. Now perhaps <br /> it's not in the duties of Mr. Warren Lee to do this...perhaps he <br /> delegates it to somebody else I don't know who that might be...but <br /> whoever he may or may not have delegated it to...didn't respond. <br /> And on the subject of trying to get a copy of the written responses <br /> 17 <br />
