16. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO TRANSFER CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS TO THE BUILDING INSPECTION EFFECTIVE APRIL 15, 2019 ANNUAL COMPENSATION TO BE SET FOR THE BUILDING INSPECTOR AT $1,800.00 AND FOR THE SECRETARY AT $600.00 - Richardson stated she was not at the meeting but did watch the video and felt she did not have enough background to make a decision. She noted that when the building inspector position was eliminated it was moved to the Building & Grounds Department about 8 or 9 years ago. She questioned what the reason was to move it. Bredthauer stated that she decided to address this because she would like to see it all in one place. When a contractor gets a building permit then he has to go to another location to obtain the rest of it. Loran is busy and this will let him have more time. She noted the list of conditional use permits and there are not that many. The villages currently help pay for the building inspector and it common sense that it should be together and it makes it easier for the contractors. It should have been moved there when Alan took office. He is out in the county driving around and he can be watching. Lancaster noted that she is not sure why it was not done before. She checked with the villages and they approve. It was the villages that requested to have a building inspector and this just puts it back under one roof. She also noted that the compensation will be a little different. Quandt noted the county did not have building permits and this was set up 3 years ago. Everything should have been moved at the same time. Richardson stated she is aware of the process and it was a positive move but she talked to contractors and it isn't an issue with them. Mr. Nabity was present and noted the conditional use permits go through the city clerk and the building department. When he started Max did the conditional use permits and he used to pre- draft the rules when the building department was deleted he worked with Loran. Richardson noted the city has 2 different offices. She has not heard any complaints it is organized and she does not feel it is right to pull this now. She stated it could be discussed at budget time and does not see why it needs to be changed now. Bredthauer made a motion and Quandt seconded to transfer the conditional use permits to the building inspector effective April 15 and set compensation at $1,800.00 for the fiscal year and the secretary at $600.00 for the fiscal year and make a deduction from the other office. Hartman stated that the building inspector is not that busy. Lancaster stated you need to look at the number of building permits. The last year they did not have to ask the villages for additional dollars. The current secretary is shared with the Weed Department and the building inspector has a truck from the weed department and Weed Department has a portion of the secretarial hours. Alan did not attend today because he felt the board could explain it. We need to keep personalities out of this. She stated that Alan has done an excellent job and the county was fortunate to find someone with his experience. Janet O'Malley requested to address the board. She stated that she has worked for the county for 18 years and feels that she does a good job. She has never had an employer take away my job and pay when she has been doing a job. Understand it better for the county If this is a personality issue and a conflict with the county board she feels that her loyalty and trust is 4
