From the meeting
Safety Director Perry asked to hire a BBS multi-certified inspector to replace daily use of the city's current outside vendor and add flexibility for the Building Department. This points to an existing outsourced inspection function being brought in-house, which can affect the incumbent and any related inspection support needs. The request was on the agenda for council consideration, so no decision had been made yet.
