This
Department is an amalgamation of the traditional public works, building
and planning units found elsewhere and it was created to provide direct
services to the public in a more efficient manner.
The
Director is responsible to Town Council for staff supervision and the
operational effectiveness of the offices of the Chief Building Official
(CBO), General Foreman and Town Planner, working in concert with others
to provide property developers with convenient
"one-stop-shopping" service when seeking permits and required
approvals.
Enforcement
of the Ontario Building code, the minimum standard level for public
health, safety, access, fire protection and structural safety of
buildings is the task of the CBO.
The
Planner is responsible for ensuring that all municipal development takes
place in accordance with existing By-laws, the Official Plan and related
legislation. In Renfrew, the Planner acts as the Town Clerk and as
Secretary-Treasurer of the Committee of Adjustment.
Year-round
maintenance of Town streets, sidewalks, open spaces and landscaping is
the concern of the General Foreman in addition to water, waste and
sewage distribution and treatment systems.
Departmental
office hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
