Council tables hire for building/zoning staff until water moratorium is resolved
Summary
Council agreed to delay hiring an in-house building/zoning professional until the city's water moratorium issue is settled; Ben Allred argued a dedicated inspector would support development and tax revenue.
Council discussed hiring a new building and zoning staff member but voted to table the decision until Ballard resolves its current water moratorium. Council Member Ben Allred argued that a dedicated in-house building inspector would support new business growth and increase tax revenue, but members concluded the moratorium makes proceeding premature.
Council Member Steve Secrest moved to table the hiring decision, seconded by Council Member Al Kettle; the motion carried and the matter will return when the moratorium status is clarified.
