City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers
From: City Administrator Dan Wietecha
Date: September 19, 2022
Item: Building Inspection Staffing
Council Action Requested:
Approve regular employment status for Building Inspector, effective September 26, 2022.
Background Information:
Hastings is experiencing a boom in construction, and this is expected to continue into the foreseeable
future. Adequate staffing is needed for our Building Safety Department’s capacity to process permits.
On April 4, 2022, the City Council approved a budget amendment to hire an additional Building Inspector
on a temporary basis May through October. I recommend changing this from temporary to “regular”
status, as had been anticipated with the budget amendment. This would continue the position through the
end of the year, and it is included in the approved preliminary budget for 2023. Regular status is eligible
for City benefits.
Financial Impact:
Within the April 4 budget amendment for 2022, and the position is included in the preliminary budget for
2023.
