Item No: 08B Meeting Date: May 14, 2012 Type of Business: CA Administrator Review: ____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7946, Approving a Job Description for the Building Official Position in the Community Development Department Background: Effective March 18, 2012, Kathi Osmonson resigned from active service as a fire fighter. In addition, Ms. Osmonson also resigned as Building Official/Fire Marshal with the City. Her last day with the City was Friday, May 4, 2012. At the April 23, 2012, City Council Meeting, the City Council authorized advertisement of the Building Official/Fire Marshal position in the Community Development Department. Staff advertised the position on the League of Minnesota Cities website, City’s website, and the Star Tribune. The deadline for submitting job applications is Tuesday, May 29, 2012, at 430pm. Discussion: In the City’s job advertisement, Staff removed the minimum requirement to be a certified Fire Marshal, and instead made it a desired qualification. This was done to ensure that the City receives a large pool of qualified candidates to choose from. The Building Official/Fire Marshal position may be quite challenging to fill since most Building Officials are not trained as certified Fire Marshals. At the May Work Session, it was the consensus of the City Council to remove all fire fighter duties from the job description and remove the minimum requirement to be a certified Fire Marshal. Attached is the Building Official job description. Deletions are indicated in red and additions are indicated in blue. Recommendation: Staff recommends approving Resolution 7946, approving the Building Official Job Description. This position is a non-union, full-time, non-exempt position. Respectfully submitted, Desaree Crane
