Item 5.7. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator <br />December 17, 2001 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Accept Resignation of Clifford Skogstad, Building Official, and <br />Authorize Hiring a Building Inspector <br /> <br />Cliff Skogstad has accepted a position with the City of St. Michael as the head of their <br />Building Department. His letter of resignation is attached. This new position is~more <br />money and responsibility for Cliff. <br /> <br />Cliff started with city in October of 1987 as a residential building inspector and was later <br />promoted to Building Official. In both positions, Cliff proved himself to be an extremely <br />valuable employee. He will be missed and we wish him the best in his new position. <br /> <br />Cliff's duties as Building Official for the city included the day-to-day supervision of the <br />building inspectors and code administration. For the foreseeable future, these <br />responsibilities will be assumed by Stephen Rohlf. At a future date, it may be desirable or <br />necessary to elevate someone other than the Building and Zoning Administrator to the <br />Building Official position. For now, staff is seeking authorization to hire a building <br />inspector to make up for the loss of inspection time caused by Cliff's departure. <br /> <br />With additional duties being added to the Building and Zoning Administrator, the issue of <br />hiring an Environmental Assistant should be revisited. This position was requested in 2003, <br />but was eliminated from the budget. The difference between Cliff's wages and what a <br />building inspector makes will free up some funds. <br /> <br /> <br />
