Sheriff Donald B. Skerritt, Civil Defense Director for Gallatin County,
appeared before the Commission to request that the City waive its regular build-
ing permit fee when a permit is issued to build a home fallout shelter.

control over the type of structures to be used for fallout shelters, the Ci ty
continue its pOlicy of requiring that a building permit be obtained before
construction is started. He. al.so, asked that in planning the City's proposed
