Senior Planner Gladhill stated that is true with inspections and asked how many hours the <br />Council supports for the Building Official. <br />Councilmember McGlone advocated for hiring a building intern to handle septic tank letters. He <br />stated he is not interested in a proposal with St. Francis for shared service because that person is <br />probably looking for a full -time government job and will move into another position, resulting in <br />turnover. <br />Councilmember Strommen stated that is not correct since Ramsey will hire full time and shop <br />out hours to other cities. <br />Councilmember McGlone stated he has received many accolades about the building department <br />as it is today so he thinks today's service level is higher than it has ever been and would not <br />support a change. <br />Councilmember Tossey noted the City can send a contracted Building Official home when there <br />is no work. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill concurred that is the case with contracted services but not with a full - <br />time Building Official. He noted another option is to hire a part-time Building Official, which <br />would provide some flexibility. <br />Councilmember Tossey stated he has heard good comments on Inspectron's inspectors and <br />suggested the Council consider the FTE option only if building up ticks. <br />Mayor Ramsey reiterated his support to continue with contracted services and suggested a <br />wintertime plan to reduce the Building Official's hours be established for specific days, such as <br />every Monday and Friday. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill agreed it would be best to identify set days. <br />The consensus of the Council was to continue with contracted building official services. <br />2.03: City Owned Land Inventory Update: Peltzer Park, Windsorwood, Dedicated Lands <br />Informational; no action required. <br />Mayor Ramsey reordered the agenda to next consider Item 2.05. <br />2.05: Lower Rum River Water Management Organization (LRRWMO) <br />Implementation of Third Generation Plan; New Development Requirements <br />Interim Engineer Wagner reviewed the staff report. <br />City Council Work Session / July 10, 2012 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />
