Council approves IGA with Willcox for building inspection services
At its regular meeting on Thursday, the Sierra Vista City Council approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the City of Willcox to provide building inspection and plan review services on a short-term basis.
The Willcox building inspector/plan reviewer recently gave notice of accepting another job, leaving the City of Willcox without anyone to provide those services while they hire and train a new building inspector. Meanwhile, the City of Sierra Vista’s building services team currently has the capacity to assist Willcox.
As part of the IGA, Willcox will be billed at the employees’ full salary plus burden rate and for the cost of travel to Willcox and a small administrative fee. The term for the agreement is one year, with automatic renewals for one year thereafter unless either city notifies the other to discontinue the IGA.
