SUBJECT: Authorize Hiring of Additional Building Inspector
DATE: March 16, 2004

to four the number of building inspectors. The building division also includes the Building

review and permit fees each year than it spends, and those fees would fund the requested
position.

certify the list that was generated by the hiring of a replacement for Rick Sames, and will
determine whether any ofthose candidates are still interested in and available for the position.

inspector.
