MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF INPUT City Administrator Ulrich announced upcoming meetings and events. Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the previous Building Official submitted his retirement a few months ago and one of the tasks that needed to be filled was septic review and inspections. He stated that the Council approved the use of Anoka County for that service. He stated that because of increased requests, it became clear that Anoka County could not handle the load. He stated that the City was able to work with the existing contractor, who shuffled some staff to handle the necessary workload, and the item was budget neutral. He noted that there was a gap in service, but staff is committed to catching up and has been in contact with the applicants as well. He stated that the current Building Official is working on obtaining the necessary certification to complete septic inspections. He noted that this is a trend across the metro municipalities in finding it difficult to find a good candidate that also hold the necessary certification for septic inspections and the issue is not unique to Ramsey. 9. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Councilmember Musgrove, seconded by Councilmember Heinrich, to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried. The regular meeting of the City Council adjourned at 9:18 p.m. Respectfully submitted, • Kurtis G. Ulrich City Administrator ATTEST: City Council/May 14,2019 Page 11 of 12
