Peru board tables request to extend temporary code assistance after members raise training and cost concerns
Summary
The board considered continuing a temporary code‑enforcement assistant for three months to support recently certified staff but tabled the extension after members raised budget and oversight concerns and asked for additional review.
A resolution was introduced to continue Steve Beinoff as a temporary code‑enforcement assistant for three months to support the newly certified permanent code officer while on‑the‑job questions arise. The clerk read the resolution describing a three‑month continuation and the need for field assistance.
Several members raised concerns about the cost and the limits of online training for on‑the‑job responsibilities. One member said, "If I make a mistake, it comes out of the taxpayers' pocket," arguing for caution and further discussion before committing additional funds. After extended discussion a motion was made to table the resolution for further review and the board tabled the item.
The transcript indicates the board supports further review and will revisit the request; no final approval or appropriation is recorded in the meeting minutes for the continuation.
