(A) The Building Commission shall appoint an Electrical Inspector who shall be qualified and responsible to conduct electrical inspections of building projects subsequent to the issuance of a building permit pursuant to § 151.003, or an improvement location permit. The Electrical Inspector shall make inspections periodically as deemed appropriate (including a final inspection upon completion of all work) to ensure compliance with the building permit issued, the various provisions of the code, as well as any other applicable local, state or federal statutes, codes, rules, regulations or laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Electrical Inspector shall conduct not less than one final inspection for any and all construction projects costing $50,000 or less and those periodic inspections as the Building Commission and/or Electrical Inspector shall deem appropriate including a final inspection for any and all construction projects in excess of $50,000. The Building Commission shall determine the fee to pay the Electrical Inspector which expenses shall be initially funded out of the money collected incident to permit fees. In the event that the permit fee funds shall be insufficient to compensate the Electrical Inspector, the Council of the Town of Long Beach, Indiana, shall appropriate the necessary funds. The Electrical Inspector shall be appointed by the Building Commission on an annual basis.
(B) The Electrical Inspector shall keep all necessary records of inspections and in the event the Electrical Inspector believes there to be non-compliance with the permit, the codes or any other applicable rules, regulations or laws, it shall report the same immediately to the Building Commission.
