After-the-fact approvals and penalties for unpermitted work
Summary
Businesses keep painting or modifying buildings before getting board approval, and there's currently no penalty. The board wants the City Commission to create real consequences — fines or required repainting — and discussed whether such items should even sit on the consent agenda. Staff also flagged that harsh penalties could hurt small business owners most.
