Resident Bill Kelly urges village review after delayed inspection reports
Summary
Resident Bill Kelly told the Village of Belgium board he waited roughly eight weeks for requested inspection reports and questioned whether the inspector (Roger) is fit for duty; board members agreed to refer the matter to the public safety committee and requested documentation.
Bill Kelly told the Village of Belgium board he requested inspection reports for his house months earlier and received them only after an eight‑week delay. "I received them almost 8 weeks after my request in front of the board here," Kelly said, adding that reports arrived out of chronological order and raising concerns about the inspector Roger's health and fitness for duty.
Board members acknowledged the complaint and said the matter would be referred for further review. The Village Pro Tem said he did not have full background information and proposed referring the issue to the public safety committee; another board member suggested a joint referral to finance and personnel as well. The chair asked Kelly to provide documentation and an email address so the committees could review the records.
The board did not take formal action during the public comment period. Committee follow-up was the next step identified by the board; any personnel or disciplinary steps would require committee review and a formal recommendation to the board.
