A • <br /> Normal with many others considering. The tests are available in se eral locations,the <br /> closest being Springfield and are administered by an independent t sting agency for a fee <br /> of$200.00 paid by the applicant. These individuals must still meet minimum <br /> requirements for testing as outlined in Chapter 26. Use of this testi g service will <br /> minimize complaints about test difficulty or discrimination of appl cants. It will also <br /> reduce time involved in administering tests by staff thus increasin efficiency of our <br /> division. <br /> As the fee of$200 goes directly to the testing agency,therefore, w are recommending <br /> elimination of our current$50.00 applicant fee. We are, however, ecommending <br /> increasing our annual license fee to $100 for the following reasons <br /> 1. The cities of Bloomingtoh, Springfield, and Peoria now ch ge $100.00 for their <br /> annual fees. <br /> 2. Raising the fee will help offset the loss of the $50.00 appli ant fee. <br /> 3. The annual license fee has not changed for 25 years. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The Heating, Air Conditio 'ng, & Refrigeration <br /> Commission has met and agreed to all recommended changes. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: None we are aware of <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Randy Johner, Construction Inspections anager @ 424-2787 <br /> or rciohner(a�decaturnet.org <br /> SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Minutes from Commission Me ting,Memo from Cary <br /> Mills,Mechanical Inspector <br /> RJ/rat <br /> M07-102 <br />
