turnaround times. This report will include recommendations for establishing and meeting performance standards that are consistent with best practices. Given the challenges that the Building Division has faced during this recovery period, staff should be commended for the manner in which they have worked together to maintain their quality standards and a good working relationship with their customers. The results of our Customer Survey indicate a generally favorable opinion of the work performed by the staff in the Building Division. Our staff interviews revealed that they are aware of many of their current performance shortcomings and are committed to address them in the future through the implementation of many of the recommendations that will be contained in this report. The volume of recommendations contained in this report should not be interpreted as reflective of a poorly run organization that has not been striving to meet their customer’s expectations.
