<br />WS – Item 1 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 1 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: July 27, 2020 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Michael Grochala <br /> <br />Re: Temporary Building Inspection Services <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The Building Department budget includes $11,860 for temporary and back-up inspector <br />services to assist in high demand periods. Due to the position’s limited nature, we have <br />been unable to fill this in the past. <br /> <br />At this time, staff is proposing to retain the services of MnSpect on a limited schedule of <br />8-16 hours per week for the next 12 plus weeks. We are currently fluctuating between <br />three to six days out on inspections. The additional inspection help will allow us to move <br />closer to our customer service target of providing inspections within 48 hours of request. <br /> <br />MnSpect will provide an inspector on a set schedule for $85/hr on half to full day <br />increments. This will allow us to expand or contract their services, as necessary, to meet <br />demand. Inspection services are funded entirely from building permit revenues. <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />None required. Information only. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />1.
