Re: Chad Payment as Building Official
Background:
In 2011 the City of Scandia began contracting with the City of Forest Lake for building inspection
services. Following Keith Wille's retirement last fall the Council designated Tim Okan as building
official. On March 24, 2014 Chad Payment began working as the building official in Forest Lake.
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:
Forest Lake recently hired Chad Payment as building official. Since Scandia contracts with them for
building inspection services, Scandia also needs to change their building official designation.
Options:
1) Designate Chad Payment as Building Official
2) Designate someone else as Building Official
Recommendation:
Option 1.
