Summary

Commissioner Mitch Deisch suggested the county examine hiring a locally contracted building official rather than relying on the state building inspector, flagging a possible change to inspection and permitting practice for further discussion.

At the June 16 meeting Commissioner Mitch Deisch proposed that the county explore hiring a locally contracted building official as an alternative to relying on the state building inspector. Deisch framed the suggestion as an option worth investigating; the minutes record it as a suggestion for future consideration rather than an adopted policy.

The minutes do not record staff analysis or legal counsel on the scope or feasibility of hiring a local official, nor do they show any votes or follow-up assignments tied directly to the proposal. The idea was entered into the meeting record as a topic for future exploration.
