    After nine months of planning, six months of committee work and countless meetings and hours on the part of many citizens, Central has a new contract for City Services.  The Institute for Building Technology and Safety, or IBTS, and the City of Central have signed a five year deal to provide Central's City Services.  The contract takes effect on July the first, with IBTS opening an office in the La Centrale shopping center at the corner of Greenwell Springs & Sullivan.  All City Services activities such as permitting and inspections which were provided by CH2M Hill at the office at the corner of Hooper and Greenwell Springs will now be handled by IBTS at the new location.  A final thank you goes out to the dedicated team of volunteers recruited by Mayor Watts to see this process through from beginning to the final recommendation to the Mayor.  The contact phone number for City Services will remain 262-5000 and City Services should continue uninterrupted through the transition.
