REPORT:
On September 9 1996 Council approved Report PD -123-96, which appointed Mr. Frank
Wu as the Chief Building Official on an interim basis. Since then the Chief
Administrative Officer has had discussions with Mr. Wu, who has indicated that
he may lack the academic/technical schooling as well as the working experience
needed to discharge the responsibilities of the Chief Building Official of
Clarington.
Accordingly, the Chief Administrative Officer has transferred the Building
Division of Planning and Development to the Department of Public Works, reporting
directly to Mr. Stephen A. Vokes, on an interim basis, effective October 21 1996.
Mr. Vokes has an engineering degree and has had previous experience in the
capacity of Chief Building Official.
It is anticipated that the permanent position of Chief Building Official will be
addressed in the 1997 budget discussions.
Respectfully submitted,
W. H. Stockwell,
Chief Administrative Officer
