and electrical inspection services was
Lou Cutwright, Building Official, reported that in January 2000, LaPorte City contacted his office
to ask the city to submit a proposal to perform building and electrical inspections for LaPorte
City. The inspection services will be provided on an "as needed" basis Monday and Friday
mornings and Wednesday afternoons. After hour inspections will be conducted upon special
request for the surcharge of $45.00. When inspections are requested, there will be a minimum of
a three-hour inspection time, plus mileage, for a total cost of $89.00 per day. It is estimated that
if the city provides the building and electrical inspection services three days per week the revenue
for a full year will be $13,884.00. Mr. Cutwright commented that the Assistant City Attorney has
reviewed the agreement, and he has recommended a few language changes. The agreement may
be terminated by either party upon a thirty day written notice. The 28E Agreement is on tonight's
council agenda for approval.
Councilperson Jordan questioned if providing these services to LaPorte City will jeopardize the
city's inspection program. Mr. Cutwright noted that with cross training of his star he does not
believe there will be a problem.
Moved by Jordan, seconded by Gronen that the 28E Agreement with LaPorte City to provide
building and electrical inspection services be approved and forwarded to the full council for
approval. Ayes: Six. Absent: Anders. Motion carried.
With no further business before the committee, it was moved by Krizek, seconded by Jordan that
the meeting be adjourned at 4:53 p.m. Ayes: Six. Absent: Anders. Motion carried.
