The Building Department is now requesting approval for Chief Building Official John Pearson and Building Inspector Robert Bitgood for travel overnight on December 5, 2023 to attend the same Building Code Administrator and Inspectors Board meeting (BCAIB), for the board reviewing Bitgood’s Plumbing Inspector and Plumbing Plans examiner license application on December 6, 2023. It is necessary to be physically present at this meeting should the Board have any questions or concerns regarding the details of the applications being submitted.
