Klamath County approves promotion to Building Inspector 3, effective Oct. 16
Summary
The Klamath County Board of Commissioners approved promoting a Community Development Department (CDD) employee to Building Inspector 3 after the employee met certification requirements; the cost was included in the FY 2025–26 budget.
The Klamath County Board of Commissioners approved a promotion for a Community Development Department employee to the classification of Building Inspector 3, effective Oct. 16, 2025.
County staff told the board the employee had obtained two additional International Code Council (ICC) certifications that converted to Oregon A-level credentials — Structural Inspector (SIA) and Plans Examiner (PEA) — and, combined with existing credentials, now met the job’s three A-level certification requirement.
The CDD manager said the employee previously held two B-level certifications (each pair of B-level certifications counting as one A-level) and that the new certifications put the employee at the required three A-level equivalents. The promotion includes a reclassification in pay from LH-22 step 1 to LH-24 step 1. County staff told the board the fiscal impact had been accounted for in the FY 2025–26 budget.
A motion to approve the promotion was made and put to a vote; the chair signaled approval and the motion passed. Meeting minutes recorded the board’s approval but did not record a named mover or a full roll-call tally in the transcript excerpt.
The board did not identify the promoted employee by name in the public portion of the meeting. The county said the budget already reflects the change, and no additional budget action was required at the meeting.
