Oak Forest hires Lakeside for temporary building inspections during recruitment
Summary
To cover an inspection-position vacancy and increased post‑storm inspection needs, the council approved a temporary contract with Lakeside Consultants to provide ICC‑certified building inspection services; vote was 5–0 with two absent.
The council approved a temporary, as‑needed contract with Lakeside Consultants to provide ICC‑certified building inspection services while the city recruits for a vacant Building Inspector position. City Administrator Moses Amidei told the council the arrangement is intended "to maintain efficient operations during the recruitment process and prevent delays," and cited increased inspection workload after a recent storm as a factor supporting the temporary contract.
Alderperson Emmett moved to approve the proposal; Alderperson Wolf seconded and the council approved the motion by roll call 5–0 (two absent). The temporary arrangement is intended to ensure inspections continue without interruption until the city fills the vacancy.
