Council to vote on making Lima Building Department new enforcement authority
The Village of Bluffton Council will meet at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, December 9. The agenda (attached HERE) includes the following legislation:
First reading by emergency of an ordinance that begins the process of authorizing the Lima Building Department as local authority for enforcing Ohio building codes, approving plans and specifications, and making inspections.
In October, Village Administrator Jesse Blackburn reported that the Wood County services currently being used are getting busier and struggling to cover all jobs. He noted that the Village was working on ways to cover plumbing inspections in the portion of Bluffton in Hancock County.
Editor's note: The Lima Building Dept. is also known as the Lima/Allen County Building Department.
