Trustees table building-inspector service agreement after debate over fee split
Summary
A proposed service agreement with licensed building inspector Jay Rogers drew objections over an 80/20 fee split and whether inspections should remain under village control; trustees voted to table the agreement until the next meeting.
The board considered a proposed service agreement to engage Jay Rogers as a licensed building inspector for the village. The mayor objected to contract terms described in the presentation as an "80/20" split that would leave most fees outside village control; he said the village should retain inspections tied to occupancy permits so local fees remain with the municipality.
After discussion and a request that legal counsel review terms, the board voted to table the item until the next regular meeting. Trustees asked staff to provide clear contract language and options that preserve village inspection authority or ensure the village receives appropriate revenue from inspection fees.
"Even though he's licensed by the state and got his license," the mayor said during discussion, "that that definitely need to be tabled" pending contract clarification. Legal counsel confirmed the item would be returned with recommended contract language for board consideration.
