Maple Lake hires part-time inspector and appoints St. Michael official for temporary building services
Summary
Interim Administrator presented options for temporary building official services; council approved hiring Sandstad as a part-time building inspector (recorded variably as David and Doug Sandstad) and appointed St. Michael Building Official Rob Lindberg as the city's temporary building official (both motions passed 4-0).
Interim City Administrator Cathy Reynolds presented options for temporary building official services on Feb. 17, 2026, including contracting with Wright County or partnering with the City of St. Michael. Council approved hiring a part-time building inspector surnamed Sandstad and appointed St. Michael Building Official Rob Lindberg to serve as Maple Lake’s temporary building official.
The minutes record that the hire of Sandstad will match the St. Michael pay rate. Mayor Lynn Kissock moved to approve the hire and Councilor Kris Logas seconded; the motion passed 4-0. The minutes list the inspector’s first name inconsistently (recorded as both “David Sandstad” and “Doug Sandstad” in the meeting text); the council’s recorded action refers to the Sandstad hire by motion only. The council then moved to appoint Rob Lindberg as the city’s building official; Councilor Scott Chantland seconded the appointment and the motion passed 4-0.
Councilor Chantland was designated to participate in the proposal review and interview process for building official services. Staff will proceed with the temporary arrangement and the RFP review process.
