Hey @J. Martin , I'm not sure if I missed what the final verdict was regarding the recordings, if the sessions/seminars were going to be recorded?

Congratulations!

Yeah, I think it really depends on the city.

Hey J, after reading your thread I've been meaning to share this a couple weeks back but just got back onto BP :)

A couple weeks back I was talking to a developer friend of mine from Sacramento who told me a story about a new house that he built a couple of years ago.  He had bought an empty lot and he knew based on the records that there used to be a house there before.  When applying for permits, the city charged him around $42k in fees, a big portion of that was for connecting a new water line, sewer, and gas line.  They did not have any details or drawings of the old lines connected to the prior house, so he rented a Bobcat and dug up his whole yard in about two days.  He found 3 different, separate water lines and a gas line.  He went back to the city and got refunded about $28k of those fees he had paid since he could now use those existing lines.

Just thought I'd share, in case you might face similar situation, this might be an option to try :)

@Bradley Bogdan 

Bradley, thank you for the detailed explanation of the programs! I just met someone tonight who does one of these programs (he owns the homes and works with a non-profit for the funds/veterans side), it's the first time I heard of this and that's how I came across this thread via a search.  Your explanation cleared up some things for me :)

Awesome, thanks again!
