City of <br /> <br />Item 4.8. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />STEPHEN ROHLF, BUILDING AND <br />ZONING ADMINISTRATOR <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />JANUARY 8, 2001 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />BUILDING AND ZONING <br />DEPARTMENT OUT OF STATE <br />CONFERENCES <br /> <br />The Building and Zoning Department has been sending two inspectors per year to out of <br />state conferences. The University of Wisconsin, Madison, conducts a tremendous week <br />long class for building inspectors that provides a level of training that is not offered in <br />state. Each year the City of Elk River has sent one of its residential inspectors to this <br />class, as does numerous other municipalities throughout the state. This year the Building <br />and Zoning Department is proposing to send Robert Ruprecht. This will be his first out <br />of state conference. A memo from Bob is attached. <br /> <br />The last couple of years the city has sent Cliff Skogstad to the Colorado Chapter <br />Educational Institute for training. The classes held here are geared to commercial and <br />industrial construction. There is nothing with similar depth held in state. Because of the <br />shift in Terry Zajac's principal duties to the inspection of commercial and industrial <br />buildings, the Building and Zoning Department proposes that he goes to this class in <br />2001. A memo from Terry is attached. <br /> <br />The budget for the Building and Zoning Department, that the Council approved, <br />identified both of these conferences. It is of great value to the city to have well trained <br />inspectors; building safety is no accident. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
