Morning, Barons, Sapporo Sushi, and Schools First Credit Union
continue to be work in progress and are all getting close to final
inspections.
With the growing number of tract files, permit files and documentation
related to development the office has outgrown the allotted space for
files and plans. The OFM office is working on purging files, scanning
documents and finding storage space to hold old plans and files that
need to be archived.
In between inspections, plan reviews, document retention, scheduling,
billing, as well as required reports, Menifee staff has a full workload as
do other divisions in this growing community.
The Fire Marshal services provided locally continue to receive positive
comments on service delivery and assistance to the public and business
community from customers, City staff and the Development
community.
