DICUSSION & POSSIBEL ACTION REGARDING THE BUILDING INSPECTOR POSITION &/OR JOB DESCRIPTION — Peterson ask if they want to expand the advertising. He expressed concern that they owe the applicant the opportunity to interview. That would be held in January. When Mr. Hartman's position was vacant they felt that it was important the representative should be included in the interviews and be part of the discussion. Richardson stated they have information from Craig Lewis regarding the ICC testing. They do require the ICC certification but they allow 12 months to get it. 30 day may be unreasonable. Peterson suggested expanding the advertising with Zip and Linked In, NACO, League of Municipalities but it was not on the ICC website. There are fees for these of$400.00 to $700.00. Discussion was held if Alan is a member if ICC. Hurst stated he expressed concern that it was unreasonable to set 30 days. They need to interview the applicant and not spend a lot of money. They may not get someone and if not start over. Richardson made a motion and Hurst seconded that upon accepting the job offer to allow 6 months to obtain the ICC certification. Sorensen stated he had experience working with the individual and that person may be hard to find because of the pay scale. Having the license may mean a lot, but it is the hands on experience that means more to him personally. They need to allow time to get the certificate. They may have to consider starting from scratch, Bredthauer stated it is a concern the City has other inspectors. Lancaster questioned if they do the inspections are the bonded and if they do not have the certification could anyone go out and do the inspections. Sarah Carstensen said most of the suggestions came from Alan. The journeyman is harder to find. Lancaster 7
