HomeMy WebLinkAbout#13 - Designate Building OfficialSTAFF REPORT
DATE: March 19, 2019
REGULAR
TO: Mayor and City Council
AGENDA ITEM: Adopt Resolution 2019- to Designate Certified Building Official
SUBMITTED BY: Jake Foster, Assistant City Administrator
BACKGROUND:
Building Official Mike Bent submitted his resignation affective 3/18/19. The City of Lake Elmo
has adopted the Minnesota State Building Code and is authorized to provide administration. A
certified building official is required by Minnesota State Statute for implementation. Staff
recommends that City Building Inspector, Toni Liljedahl be designated as the certified building
official until a building official replacement is hired. Ms. Liljedahl has volunteered to provide
these services, and has done so in the past.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
Should the Council designate Toni Liljedahl as building official?
PROPOSAL:
As it is required by state statute to designate a certified building official, staff recommends designating
Building Inspector, Toni Liljedahl as such. She has all of the necessary licensure, and would serve as the
building official in a temporary capacity until a replacement is hired.
Council would need to adopt Resolution 2019- to designation Ms. Liljedahl as the certified building official.
Additionally, the attached Designation of Certified Building Official form will need to be authorized by the
Mayor and mailed to the state. The form has already been completed, but needs an authorized signature.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
If removed from the consent agenda:
“Move to adopt resolution 2019-.”
