MARION – Tony Gagliardo, Building Official/Inspector for Osceola County, discussed violation letters at a recent Osceola County personnel and administration committee meeting and said he is working on rewriting it.
Gagliardo shared several letters from other counties for the Committee to review. He expressed concerns on the Prosecutor’s office not following through on violations referred to their office. He expressed concerns that he has heard some of the Commissioners are upset with what he makes.
Gagliardo also discussed his concerns with the public going to the County Coordinator or Commissioners when they are upset with him. He said they should go through the Construction Board of Appeals. Tony also provided the Committee a packet pertaining to various laws to reporting violations and building code enforcement.
Discussion was held on why there seems to be an increase in complaints from the public. Committee members discussed the evaluation form that Commissioner David Turner of Marion put together and if the Committee felt it was adequate to send out to the full board as it is. Commissioner Mark Gregory discussed the importance of bringing up issues immediately as opposed to waiting for an evaluation period. Commissioner Roger Elkins of Evart gave a few suggestions.
Gregory asked for the evaluation to be sent out to the Commissioners as soon as the adjustments have been made.
