Council Minutes of 6/3/2003 Building Commissioner Rymarczyk said he would like to hire a combination of a building and maintenance inspector. This would help cut down the expenses by having one person do the job of two. With the absence of the city inspector, Mr. Jesse said that he is responding to complaints of safety concerns from residents. Finance Director Copfer was asked to review the budget and advise the BZD Committee if fiends are available to hire another inspector.
