SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 2018 Dunes to discuss building program shutdown May 7 The Dunes City Mayor and City Council have scheduled a meeting to discuss options that may be available to the city to address the recent notification from the Building Codes Division that city contracts with a third party for building inspections is considered to be a violation of the Oregon Constitution. Consequently, Dune City’s building program will be shut down by the state, effective July 1, unless action is taken by the city prior to that date. “Several options exist that the city could take to resolve the alleged violations,” said Mayor Robert Forsythe. “We’re looking for some feed- back from our local contrac- tors and residents to help the council identify which option might be the best for our cir- 3 A FlorenceFest art winners announced cumstances.” Options available include each city hiring its own build- ing inspector and electrical inspector, and ask that the building inspector also serve as the building official; con- tracting with another city or two to “share” in hiring the building inspector, electrical inspector, and a building offi- cial; letting the program go to Lane County for permit issuance and inspections; let- ting the program go to the State of Oregon for permit issuance and inspections; or pursue litigation to stop the state directive from occurring. Dunes City contractors and residents are encouraged to attend this open discussion with their City Council mem- bers.
