The intent of this City-City Inter-local Agreement is to authorize the City of Olmos Park for the enforcement of its subdivision regulations and its Building Code Ordinance. COSA shall be a certifying agency regarding platting; Olmos Park shall allow COSA inspectors access to any improvement to any of the Identified Properties; and COSA may request that Olmos Park halt construction if the applicable standards are not being met.

ALTERNATIVES:
Council could decide not to approve the Inter-local Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City of Olmos Park would collect any revenue from the platting and building permits and would incur the cost of personnel for the reviewing of plats and inspection of project.
