Item~ 3.6 <br /> <br />City of <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 />MARCH 12, 2001 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />CONSIDER RE-ESTABLISHING <br />BUILDING INSPECTOR POSITION TO <br />FULL TIME STATUS <br /> <br />At their April 19, 1999 meeting, the Elk River City Council approved a Seasonal <br />Building Inspector position. The Building and Zoning Department indicated that they <br />felt this position would need to become full time at some future point, but that they try to <br />get by with seasonal inspector as long as workload permitted. <br /> <br />The Elk River Area School District is proposing 30 million dollars worth of construction <br />in Elk River during 2001 alone and over 54 million dollars worth in the next two years. <br />Combined with booming commercial construction, the adoption of the new State Energy <br />Code, and the approval of major residential plats, additional building inspection time is <br />needed to keep our level of service from suffering. <br /> <br />Currently, the city budget has funding for Seasonal Building Inspector position for ¼ of <br />the year. The Building and Zoning Department is requesting that this position be made <br />full time. If approved by the Council, staff will advertise this position immediately. <br /> <br /> ccS.docs:\b&z\stever\cc5.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
