“Creating Community Through People, Parks, and Programs”
To: Mayor Hicks and City Councilmembers
From: Barry Bernstein, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Weed Inspector Duties
Date: 3/22/10
Council Action Required:
Authorize change in administration and oversight of the Weed Inspector duties from the Parks and
Recreation Department to the Building/Code Enforcement Department.
Background Information:
Statutory language states that the City Mayor is the appointed Weed Inspector, but may appoint an
Assistant Weed Inspector. For many years, the Assistant Weed Inspector for the City of Hastings
has been Kevin Smith, Parks Superintendent. With Kevin’s upcoming retirement, staff looked at
reallocating these duties to Building/Code Enforcement as it seems to be parallel with current job
duties.
An internal meeting was held between the Building/Code Enforcement and Parks and Recreation
Departments to discuss the reassignment of the Weed Inspector duties. Tom Bakken, Building
Official, thought the transition of Assistant Weed Inspector to Code Enforcement would be
appropriate.
