I I In June, the City issued 30 residential remodeling permits which ranged in value from ,. $200,00 to $96,000.00 and had a total value of$295,786,OO and had an average value of $9,859.53, In June, the City issued one new residential (single family) construction permit which had a value of $298,0 1 0.00. I As I have previously mentioned, the City's new building official, Dave Scherbel has been doing a very good job of managing his time and efforts in this construction spike. Also, I receptionist, earolyne Kapitan has recently completed the creation of address specific filing system and is starting to transfer data and forms from various locations into these address specific files. The advantage of this filing system is that when the building I official, or anyone else, needs to know something regarding a specific parcel all the information regarding that parcel will be in one file.

Unanimously, the top two criteria were relative location to the target market, effect on product stream and product delivery. Surprisingly I (to some of my economic development colleagues) local incentives was number 10 to 15 on theses companies site selection lists. The other session which I found interesting was "Project Delivery Trends" by Kraus-Anderson Construction Corporation and KKE I Architects (Exhibit A).
