1. Building Official/Building Inspector Update
Community Development Director gave an update to the City Council regarding the
search process for the building inspector/building official positions. He asked to Council
for input regarding the next steps in the process.
Council Member Matt Johnson asked if MnSpect will still be providing any services to
the City if we hire a new official and inspector.
City Administrator Adam Edwards added that we would essentially bring forward for
approval to hire an inspector and official at a future meeting and also meet with MnSpect
to see what other services they could provide through the transition.
2. Annual Appointments Discussion
City Administrator Adam Edwards presented the item to the Council. He mentioned that
the City Council has not collectively reviewed the appointments in past years and that
staff would like input for next year's appointments.
Mayor Walsh noted the review committee should be kept however we could narrow
down the members until this committee opens up. We could remove the Highway 12
Turn-back Committee since it is now irrelevant.
City Council Member Richard F. Crosby II noted he would like to be added to the
Highway 12 Safety Coalition Committee.
