DBI leadership shift: commission confirms special assistant appointment and approves acting director
Summary
Following a closed session, the Building Inspection Commission confirmed an HR appointment of Vivian Day as special assistant for transition, accepted Director Day's resignation as previously advised, and unanimously appointed Tom Huey as acting director effective July 1 with a six‑month review and an open recruitment for a new director.
After a closed session on personnel matters, the Building Inspection Commission disclosed a set of administrative actions affecting Department of Building Inspection leadership.
City Attorney John Malamet read the commission’s decision into the public record: the commission confirmed the human resources director’s appointment of Vivian Day as a special assistant for transition purposes and acknowledged Director Day’s resignation effective at the end of June, as she had previously informed department staff.
The commission also voted unanimously to appoint Tom Huey as acting director effective July 1; the appointment is subject to a six‑month evaluation by the commission and the initiation of a job search for a permanent director. The action was recorded as a personnel decision during closed session and disclosed in open session per commission rules.
Commissioners noted the department’s ongoing programs — including IT upgrades, CAPS work, and improvements to permit tracking — and asked that the transition and recruitment proceed with attention to continuity of operations and staff morale.
