There is currently a vacancy for senior building inspector as Sam Payne retired today, Monday, March 2, 2020.
While a search is ongoing to fill this position, the BOW voted to accept an independent contractor contract with Sam Payne so the city can fulfill housing inspection in the interim until a person can be hired.
The BOW also set the ongoing meeting schedule as the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month at 5 p.m. in the council chambers. The BOW meeting will take place prior to 7 p.m. City Council meetings.
