Would recommend the use of caution when considering an Administrative Authority for delivering services related to Code enforcement and compliance. For example, the latest Authorized Nominating Authority selected by MAG under the Construction Act has failed to impress to date. Although a relatively new Authorized Nominating Authority, the services provided so far are of poor quality and do not appear to be in the best interest of the public. There would also appear to be a large information and quality gap compared to the level of service available through traditional means, in particular as the Authorized Nominating Authority is independent of MAG. Reputation and public confidence are at risk if not properly implemented and delivered. In addition, the proposed fee structure ("self-sustaining") for MAG's new Authorized Nominating Authority seems to be very high relative to the level of service being offered. Suggest MMAH wait to see how this plays out for MAG before contemplating the use of a similar Administrative Authority under the Building Code Act.
