Council tables proposed revised building-official contract over fee and service concerns
Summary
Council members expressed concern about a proposed revised contract for building-official services with the county — including what council described as a proposed fee increase — and voted to table the item until a revised contract showing services and fees is provided.
Council deliberations on June 10 centered on a proposed revised contract for professional building-official services between the county and the town. Members said an earlier draft did not present added services clearly and cited a fee figure they found surprising.
One councilmember said, "That $40,000 from 1000 is outrageous," expressing concern about the cost as presented in the draft contract. The town manager said she had not received an updated contract in time for the packet and recommended inviting the county's representative, Matt Franks, to answer questions when a revised draft is available. After discussion, Councilmember Robbie moved to table the item; Sean seconded the motion and the council carried it on a voice vote. The item will return once the county provides a revised contract detailing services and fees.
