Summerville Mayor Harry Harvey and the Summerville City Council are looking to hire a full-time building inspector. The city has been using the services of a part-time building inspector for some time, but at least one city councilman is questioning the need for a full-time building inspector. The council discussed the mayor’s recommendation for a full-time inspector at their meeting on Monday evening. Councilman Rickey Hughes questioned the need for a full-time building inspector. Hughes asked if there was actually enough to keep a full-time building inspector busy. Currently, the part-time building inspector works after normal business hours, which has caused some issues. Mayor Harvey says that they are looking to offer around $45,000 per year for the full-time building inspector’s salary. The city’s financial director Carla Rutledge made the comment that it wasn’t likely anyone would want the position for the salary being recommended.
