Mr. Keith stated that because of increasing costs he would be forced to increase the hourly rate on inspectors in the very near future, so he suggested that the City do the plan check and inspection for all area East of the District boundary but he did volunteer to give each set of plans a quick check and charge this under his re- tainer. All area within the District boundaries still to be plan checked and inspected by Keith and Associates.
