Saint Charles council raises electrical/mechanical/plumbing inspection pay to $75
Summary
The Village of Saint Charles council voted to increase the per‑inspection pay for electrical, mechanical and plumbing inspectors from $50 to $75, a change council members said reflects market pressures and has been recommended by planning staff.
The Village of Saint Charles council voted to raise the per‑inspection pay for electrical, mechanical and plumbing inspections to $75, up from $50, after a recommendation tied to the planning commission and building department staff.
Council members noted the rate had not changed in about 30 years and that neighboring jurisdictions offer higher amounts. Staff said the increase will help retain local contractors who provide inspection services and that the adjustment is nearly self‑funding after recent administrative changes.
The motion passed on a roll‑call vote with all members present voting yes and two members recorded as absent.
