New code enforcement hire confirmed; inspections and permits may be delayed during transition
Summary
The board offered employment to Brian Paul as code enforcement officer; he will start the week of July 6. With the outgoing inspector leaving, the town will seek interim inspection coverage from neighboring towns, and staff warned that permit issuance may be delayed within the statutory 30‑day window.
Administrator Michelle told the board that Brian Paul, a code enforcement officer currently working in Kennebunk who lives in town, accepted the board's offer and will start the week of July 6. The board also acknowledged that long‑time inspector Mike Demers is leaving and thanked him for eight years of service.
Michelle said the town is contacting neighboring municipalities (Waterboro, Acton, Newfield) and relying on deputy coverage to conduct inspections during the transition. She cautioned that permit issuance may be delayed but noted Maine law provides a 30‑day window for issuing permits. The board asked staff to keep the public informed of delays and interim arrangements.
