The City has implemented the Accela Citizen Access (ACA) online permit and application processing system that is available to the public 24 hours a day 7 days a week. This new virtual platform provides automated online access to eight City Permitting functions including Building, Code enforcement, Business license, Fire Department permits and inspections, Engineering Permits and Inspection, Urban Runoff Permits and Inspections, and Online Payment Processing. Through this system residents, businesses, contractors and developers are able to request permits, process permits, perform payments, receive permits, request inspections, and receive final permit approvals.
During the implementation and over the past year working in a virtual environment due to COVID-19 there are additional improvements and online public access opportunities that have been identified. This includes increased access for code enforcement requests, expanded community access for Fire Department permits and notices, and providing an online certification process of required maintenance of Public Works permits. The proposed on-call services contract with IK Consulting, LLC will provide the technical professional services needed to implement these upgrades and other future modifications.
