AGENDA NO. 8C <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR Pete Kluegel, Building Official <br />DATE August 25, 1995 <br />TOPIC Report Regarding Electrical Inspections <br />Contract with Ken Peterson <br />BACKGROUND: <br />A copy of a proposed contract was forwarded to Mr. Hawkins office for his review. Mr. <br />Hawkins will present his review at the City Council meeting. <br />An outline of the advantages and the disadvantages of the City of Lino Lakes adopting a <br />contract electrical inspection program are as follows: <br />Advantages: <br />The City could realize revenue generated from the permit reviews in the <br />amount of about $7,000.00 per year. This is based on the electrical permit fees <br />from 1994. This would more than cover the administrative cost of the program. <br />The City would be able to confirm, cross reference and control electrical p i nits.. <br />Under the current program, there is no way for the City to check to make sure that <br />the person obtaining the electrical permit has also obtained a building , plumbing or <br />mechanical permit. <br />Other cities such as White Bear Lake, White Bear Township, Woodbury, Oakdale, <br />Roseville, Shoreview, Deephaven and North Oaks presently have a contract <br />electrical inspection program. All are pleased with the program. <br />Mr. Peterson is very competent and qualified. He is familiar with the City. <br />
