CONSENT ITEM - 8H <br />-ARVE_-HILLS <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: November 24, 2025 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Jessica Jagoe, City Administrator <br />FROM: Jake Reilly, Community Development Director <br />SUBJECT: Tokle Inspections, Inc. Electrical Inspection Agreement <br />Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br />Council Should Consider <br />Motions to approve, table, or deny the following: <br />Agreement for professional services for electrical inspection services with Tokle Inspections, <br />Inc. <br />Background/Discussion <br />The City Council has historically contracted with Coon Rapids -based Tokle Inspections, Inc. (Tokle) <br />to provide technical and professional assistance in connection with electrical inspection services <br />based on the Minnesota State Building Code. In 2025 Tokle established a new fee schedule, adopted <br />as part of the city's annual fee schedule that better aligns commercial electrical permit rates to be <br />more proportional to the project. Earlier this year, the founder, Pete Tokle, expressed an intent to <br />retire and turn the business and operations over to his son. City staff are satisfied with the service <br />provided by Tokle and wish to enter into a new services agreement with Tokle. Because the city's <br />contract with Tokle was quite dated, the city attorney has provided a new draft contract (Attachment <br />A). Surrounding municipalities have done the same. As described in the November 10 Council <br />Agenda item reviewing the proposed fee schedule for 2026, Tokle has increased pricing for both <br />commercial and residential items which are reasonable increases comparatively to surrounding cities. <br />The city will continue to receive 20% of the permit revenue and Tokle will receive the remaining 80 <br />percent. <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A: Draft professional services contract with Tokle Inspections with exhibits <br />Page l of 1 <br />
