Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, reviewed Staff <br />Report Na. 92-245C regarding Making the Building Inspector a Regular <br />Full Time Position. Minetor stated that he had reviewed the trend <br />of increasing building permit activity in relation to the statuts of <br />the Building Inspector as a part-time position. The first quarter of <br />1992 shows a 268 increase in revenue from building permits. Minetor <br />stated that the recession is being left behind and there are more <br />residents remodeling their homes over purchasing new homes. Minetor <br />further stated that he believes that the increased revenue due to <br />building permit activity more than offsets the increased cost for a <br />full-time building inspector. <br />Councilmember Blanchard asked if this position was going to be <br />advertised. <br />Minetor stated that he would recommend upgrading the present <br />building inspector, however, if Council desires the position could <br />be advertised. Minetor also stated that the present building <br />inspector would be a candidate for this position. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Blanchard to approve Resolution No. 4223 <br />Amending the 1992 Budget by Increasing the Revenues from Building <br />Permits and Increasing the Salary Expenditures in the Public Works <br />
