Motion carried. <br /> <br />Authorization To Advertise For A Building Official: <br /> <br />Gouncilm~pber Reimann stated that the Personnel Committee is recommending to <br />advertise for a Level II Building Official rather than a Director of Technical <br />Servioes to fill Mr. Berg's position. Gouncilm~pber Reimann stated that City <br />Assessor Wirz is busy with assess~pents but will be available for final <br />inspections. <br /> <br />Council~pber COx inquired as to the definition of Level I and Level II <br />Building Inspectors and Mr. Wirz' classification. <br /> <br />Mr. Berg stated that Level I is oertified to inspect one and two family h~pes; <br />~evel II is Certified to inspect all buildings; Mr. Wirz is a Level II. <br /> <br />Councilm~p~ber COx suggested that it would be more prudent to hire a Level I <br />Building InspectOr--that Gould upgrade himself; this suggestion is based on the <br />fact that the City already has a Level II Inspector on board. <br /> <br />Councilm~pber Reimann stated that a Level II would be a more qualified person. <br /> <br />Mr. Berg pointed out that the City doesn't even have to have another Certified <br />Building Inspector. <br /> <br />Gouncilw~pber Reimann stated that a lot of the City's problems go back to when <br />the building permit was issued; don't want to put Ramsey in a bad position by <br />hiring an unqualified person. <br /> <br />Motion by Counciln~mber COx and seGonded by Counciln~mber Reimann to table this <br />case until the Sept~Tber 24, 1985 Gouncil meeting. <br /> <br />Further DiScussion: Councilmember Reimann asked Counciln~pber Sorteberg if he <br />feels the City should proceed to advertise the position. Gounciln~pber Cox <br />stated that specifying Level II in the ad will eliminate a lot of good, <br />conscientious, hardworking inspectors fr~ consideration. Council~ber <br />Sorteberg stated that the <Dst between Level II and Level I is not that great <br />and feels the City should hire a Level II. Counciln~mber COx stated that the <br />discussion seems to imply that the City will have no problems it a Level II is <br />hired. <br /> <br />Motion failed. Voting Yes: Councilmember COx.
