Electric City council discusses in‑house building inspection certification to bring permitting local
Summary
City staff presented options used by nearby municipalities and the council discussed sending a staff member for certification to provide local building and planning inspection services; no final decision was made and the topic will return in February.
City Clerk/Treasurer Peggy Nevsimal presented a summary of how surrounding municipalities manage building permits and inspection services and noted limited local resources currently available. Council members discussed whether it would be beneficial to have a staff member complete required certification courses to bring building and planning inspection services in‑house, which could shorten permit turnaround times and reduce reliance on distant providers.
No formal motion was passed; the council left the item on the agenda for the February meeting for further consideration. Nevsimal's presentation served as an initial fact‑finding step rather than a policy decision.
