Land Use
Land Use revenue for July is $11,360. This is behind last year; however the drastic increase in May
of last year is due to the receipt of payment from a street vacation, which has caused an unfair
balance in the comparison to last year's numbers.

Building
Plans Examiners reviewed 73 plans in the last month, 7 of which were for Airway Heights. There
were 185 commercial inspections and 522 residential inspections in the same time frame. Attention:
It was noted this month that although the numbers above have been reported correctly, the chart to
go along with it has been turned around and the commercial and residential numbers were graphing
incorrectly. It has now been corrected. All year long, the number of residential inspections have
exceeded the number of commercial inspections.
