BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: N/A
Background:
This item was replaced due to a previously incorrect salary grade on item #1 and the applicant for hire was removed due to acceptance of position being rescinded.
Due to Senate Bill 107 the Building Department territory coverage will increase substantially starting July 27, 2021. The workload and the responsibilities will increase for our entire staff and above some original job descriptions. Adding a second Deputy Building Official is necessary to allow each office to have a qualified staff member in the office that can approve documentation and make code decisions in addition to and in the absence of the Building Official. The Permit Administrator will have additional duties in assisting the Planning and Zoning Department and the Highway Department with implementing, merge and maintaining new software to meet the additional workload created by SB107.
