AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: Approved By: RJO <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. To authorize the Building Services Committee (Mayor Walsh, Councilmember <br />Johnson) to finalize a contract with a selected candidate. <br /> <br />2. Background. As authorized by the City Council on January 4th, the City is currently advertising <br />for a Building Official and Building Inspector. Those applications are due February 8th. In the <br />interim, (until any hired staff are fully on-boarded) the City needs additional capacity for plan <br />review and inspections. At the direction of the Building Services committee, staff has requested <br />per hour rates for building services including Building Official, Plan Review, and inspections. <br />These responses are provided as exhibits. <br /> <br />The Committee has not reached consensus on which contractor to hire, and seeks authorization, <br />after completing the review process, to hire on behalf of the Council. <br /> <br />Once the Council makes a decision on the Building Official/ Inspector after reviewing candidates, <br />staff will present for the Council a replacement contract for more permanent service, to <br />supplement the services provided by the new hire(s). <br /> <br /> <br />3.
