Submitted by the Building Department Explanation: The Building Department is asking the members of the Board and Finance Committee to approve a full-time permanent Senior Clerk position under the Clerical Union Contract. This position is necessary to fulfill the increased workload within the department; it will keep a balance between the clerical and the inspection requirements of the department. Having two full-time Clerks in the office will now help free the inspectors from the clerical duties to perform the necessary code compliance in field inspections, plan reviews, zoning regulations and all other related duties.
