Development Services director Mike Rhodes told the board the Accela ("1 Stop") permitting portal went live Oct. 19, after migrating more than three decades of records. Commissioners pressed staff on public dashboard access, fee-study impacts from recent state bills, and how the county will maintain and expand the system.

Planning and development staff reported improved permit timeliness and first-submittal completeness, a new BKF-led code update phase, and a mobile inspection scheduling pilot that staff say saves about two hours per inspection in the field.
