Ravena Village accepts resignation of longtime building inspector Joe Burns, effective May 29, 2026
Summary
Joe Burns, the village building inspector, notified the board his last day will be May 29, 2026; trustees accepted his resignation and offered praise for his service to the village.
The Ravena Village board on April 21 read a memo from building inspector Joe Burns notifying the village that his last day of employment will be May 29, 2026. A trustee moved to accept the resignation, another seconded, and trustees indicated assent during the meeting.
Multiple trustees praised Burns’ long service and institutional knowledge. One trustee said, "He's taken the bull by the horns... He's made this building... into the beautiful building that we have," while others noted his helpfulness with repairs and his dedication to the village. Speakers also noted Burns’ sense of humor and community presence.
The transcript records the resignation notice and the board’s acceptance but does not record any discussion of a hiring timeline, interim coverage or a recruitment plan; follow‑up with village management or the clerk’s office is needed to learn next steps and whether the board will appoint an interim inspector or open a recruitment process.
