Seven cities [Roseville, Arden Hills, Little Canada, North Oaks, North <br />St. Paul, Shoreview and Brooklyn Center] contract with Tokle Inspections, Inc. <br />and have a similar contract for services. <br />1.2 The proposed service contract with Tokle Inspections, Inc. and owner Peter Tokle <br />includes a requirement that the contractor maintains his insurance schedule, <br />provides an annual report and carries an electrician's license. <br />1.3 There are no changes in the permit fee schedule for 2009. The fee structure is <br />applicable in all seven cities. The City passes the costs of doing business on to the <br />electrical contractor as part of the electrical permit charge. The City retains 20% <br />of the electrical permit fee, passing the remaining 80% on to Tokle Inspections, <br />Inc. <br />1.4 The Council annually considers this service contract and accepts any comments <br />from the applicant or interested persons. <br />STAFF COMMENT: <br />2.0 Staff has reviewed the alternatives, particularly jointly hiring a contractor or <br />adding another inspector to handle both electrical and some building inspection <br />activities. While this may pay for itself, there is no guarantee that building levels <br />will be as high as previous years. The staff recommends that this alternative is <br />premature. This alternative should be evaluated annually as the service contract <br />comes up for review. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />3.1 Staff recommends approval of the 2009 one-year service agreement with Tokle <br />Inspections, Inc. (which includes the 2009 Electrical Permit Fee Schedule) and <br />for the agreement to be reviewed annually. <br />ElectContrRCA-2009-010509.doc Page 1 of 2 <br />
