Ms. Basumatary assured the Council that she would refer all vendors to secure the proper licensure with the County or State, if required, to sell their items in the City of Mounds View. Ayes — 5 Nays — 0 Motion carried. D. Resolution 7620, Approving the Hire of Don Burda as Seasonal Building Inspector in the Community Development Department. Community Development Director Roberts stated the City has not had a paid part-time building inspector since Don Burda resigned from the position in May 2009. Don had started with the City in May 2006. Jeff Baker served the City as an unpaid building and fire inspector from June 2009 through April 2010. Jeff has since left the City and it has become apparent to staff that the City needs additional inspection help. This assistance would be to meet the needs of the property owners, contractors and to prevent the burnout of existing City inspection staff. After speaking with Don Burda further he requested $18 an hour, versus the $15 which would • provide the City 400 hours of part-time building inspection services for 2010. The advantage of hiring Mr. Burda back with the City, it would save the City time in advertising for the position
