<br />city ofCenterville <br />CoWlcil Meeting Minutes <br />December 23, 2003 <br /> <br />Council Member Lee asked what type of liability would they be setting the City up for if <br />they contracted Building Official services from Hugo. Mayor Sweeney replied the <br />Building Inspector would enforce state building codes and not city building codes. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked if an existing staff member could possibly hold this <br />position. Ms. Moore-Sykes replied this was a possibility. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney stated it did not make sense to train in a Building Inspector for three or <br />four years and then have them leave. Mr. Palzer replied he believed hiring a Building <br />Inspector would be cheaper than contracting for one. He stated he believed they could <br />handle the Building Inspector position with the existing staff though. He recommended <br />possibly hiring two people for part-time summer help, as well as filling the Building <br />Inspector's position and if they need an additional Pubic Works employee, they would <br />come back to Council. He noted if the Building Inspector was not busy, they would be <br />helping in Public Works. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney requested Ms. Moore-Sykes investigate what the cost would be for <br />contracting for a Building Inspector for informational purposes. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney stated he was not comfortable with creating this position without <br />knowing all of the costs involved. Council Members Capra and Broussard Vickers <br />replied they were comfortable hiring for this position at this time. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee noted the chain of command needed to be clarified for this position <br />by stating the direct guidance would be under the Public Works Director with general <br />guidance under the City Administrator. <br /> <br />Council directed staff to hire for this position. <br /> <br />Motion bv Council Member Caora. seconded bv Council Member Broussard <br />Vickers to approve chan!!:iDl! the Buildiu!!: Insoector's description to Buildin!!: <br />InsoectorlPublic Works and staff to hire for this oosition. <br /> <br />Mayor Sweeney stated he would not be voting for this because he wanted further <br />information on contracting services. <br /> <br />VOTE: Motion carried 4-1 (Mavor Sweeney). <br /> <br />4.
