Germantown board hires contractor for code enforcement, building inspection

Jan 12, 2016 6:15 am

Debby Mayer is reporting in the Columbia Paper on changes made by the Germantown Town Board during its reorganization meeting last week. The board changed the date of its regular meeting to the third Tuesday of the month, beginning this month, on January 19. And the board appointed engineering firm Crawford & Associates to handle town code enforcement and building inspection matters. John Fieser, longtime code enforcement officer and building inspector, no longer works for the town in that capacity. Supervisor Joel Craig told the board Crawford has greater resources to offer, with two code enforcement officers on staff. Craig said the firm will provide certified code enforcement officers to provide backup, expanded hours and daytime inspections and meetings with homeowners and contractors. The town is also looking to increase code enforcement as a result of the change. Read the full story in the Columbia Paper.
