Biggs Council Eliminates Code Enforcement Position, Seeks Outside Providers
The Biggs City Council approved changes on Oct. 27 eliminating the city's code enforcement job classification and creating a new Administrative Services Specialist position with an annual salary range of $62,712 to $72,800. City Administrator Nicolas Gauthier said the city previously combined code enforcement and planning assistant duties into one role but that arrangement did not provide adequate service, adding, "As of right now, we really don't have code enforcement at all." Gauthier plans to solicit proposals from outside code enforcement providers in early November rather than fill a dedicated municipal position. The reclassification is effective Nov. 1 and can be accommodated within the city's existing budget.
