Building industry leader praises county septic and health staff at San Juan County meeting
Summary
At the April 21 San Juan County Council meeting, Patrick Mullen, president of the San Juan Building Association, thanked county health department and on-site septic staff and urged revival of the county's Building Advisory Committee.
Patrick Mullen, president of the San Juan Building Association, used public access time at the San Juan County Council meeting on April 21 to thank county staff he described as helpful to the building industry and to urge volunteers for the county's Building Advisory Committee.
“We'd like to recognize the efforts being put forth by our county health department and the on-site septic program,” Mullen said. He named three staff members by name and praised their accessibility and responsiveness: “Kyle Dodd for always being available to mediate any disputes,” William Patterson for his knowledge, and “our current OSS admin, Emma Wickman, has a growing reputation in our field as one of our most valuable resources.”
Mullen told the council his comments reflect more than his own view: he presented reports from association members, saying five installers, two designers and three O&M professionals had given positive feedback about county staff help. He said the association has shifted from only trying to identify problems to both “find what is wrong and fixing it” and “identify what is right and nurture it.”
Mullen closed by saying the association supports revival of the county's Building Advisory Committee and expects enough volunteer applicants to staff it: “you will not be lacking in volunteer applicants.”
No formal council action followed Mullen's remarks. The comments were entered into the public record during the meeting's public-access period.
