She noted <br />that h~spectron was one of the names referred to the City by the Department of Administration. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak questioned that even though Mr. Krueger may be a qualified building <br />inspector he is not able to go through the process the City currently needs. <br /> <br />Interim Human Resources Manager Reed explained that staff needs an interim per/od to <br />determine what the longer term process should be, which may include the hiring of one <br />individual. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook stated that the issue is that the City may need an inspector or they may <br />need a Department Head, but they won't know that information until six months down the road. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik stated that Inspectron is being hired to help staff set up <br />a plan for the future. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson noted that the City is not required to stay with Inspectron for <br />six months.
