A third-party codes company already doing building codes and zoning in Williamsport was hired for a one-year term to also supplement work on codes enforcement.
City Council authorized a resolution of professional services agreement with Barry Isett and Associates.
Recommended by Mayor Derek Slaughter and his team including city Bureau of Fire Chief Tracey Harer and city Fire Inspector Stephen Yonkin (along with others in city government) to expand the scope of what they do in the city, the original three-year term was narrowed down to one year in an amendment.
Slaughter, during the committee of the whole presentation two days before the council meeting, noted Isett will have someone in the city five days a week and is eventually planning to have an office in the city.
