Council discusses hiring building official and part-time code enforcement officer; refers matter to work session
Town Administrator Violet Sanderson asked the council to consider establishing a building official position to handle plan reviews and inspections and a separate part-time code enforcement officer, saying current staff resources are overextended.

Council members discussed the need for improved compliance and safety oversight. Mayor Jeff Jensen requested that staff place the matter on the next work session agenda for detailed discussion about hiring versus contracting, scope of duties, and budget implications.

No formal motion to hire or contract was made at the July 8 meeting; the item was scheduled for further consideration at a future work session.
