From: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
Re: Tim Okan as Building Official
Background:
In 2011 the City of Scandia began contracting with the City of Forest Lake for building inspection
services. In November 2011, the Council designated Keith Willie as the Building Official. As you
may remember Keith announced his retirement earlier this year and brought Tim Okan to a previous
meeting to introduce him to the Council. Keith retired effective October 4`n
The Department of Labor requires the City of Scandia to designate a building official?
Issue:
Who should the City designate as building official?
Proposal Details:
Following Keith's retirement, the City of Forest Lake designated Tim Okan as their building official.
Since Scandia contracts with them for building inspection services, Scandia also needs to change
their building official designation.
Tim Okan is familiar with Scandia and been doing inspections in the city for a number of years.
Options:
1) Designate Tim Okan as Building Official
2) Designate someone else as Building Official
Recommendation:
Option 1.
