State BOAF: John O’Conner spoke about a potential new program to help recruit and train inspectors. It would involve having interns that building department would hire. The interns would have post-high school training in one of several areas including construction, engineering and mathematics. It would be up to the Building Official to train them. There would be continuing education requirements, ongoing testing and evaluations by a BOAF Committee. This would be another way to recruit employees in addition to the currant BOAF cross training program. John O’Conner will be the guest speaker next week to go into more details on this program and other recruitment options.
General Discussion: There will be a need next year for a new CFBOAF director. Please submit any candidates as soon as possible.
