. . PICKERIlyG Report Number: PD 13-10
83 Date: May 17, 2010
From: Neil Carroll
Director, Planning & Development
Subject: Appointment of Deputy Chief Building Official
under the Building Code Act
Recommendation:
1. That the City's Building By-law 6603/05 which appoints the Chief Building
Official, Deputy Chief Building Official and Inspectors be amended as set out in
Attachment 1 to Report PD 13-10.
Executive Summary: This report recommends that the appointments schedule and
the definitions section of the City's Building By-law 6603/05 be amended to reflect staff
changes and the appointment of a Deputy Chief Building Official.
Financial Implications: Not applicable.
Sustainability Implications: Not applicable.
Background: Council currently has in place By-law 6603/05, which is required to
provide for the administration and enforcement of the Building Code Act within the City.
This By-law includes a schedule of persons appointed pursuant to that Act. The recent
resignation of Tim Moore, Chief Building Official (effective May 17, 2010) requires that
his name be removed from the schedule. Further, and as outlined in the CAO's
correspondence to Mayor and Council of April 26, 2010, it is appropriate at this time to
establish the position of Deputy Chief Building Official as an interim step in filling the
Chief Building Official position. The City's Building By-law 6603/05 (Schedule A)
provides for a deputy, but the position is not currently assigned. This appointment was
scheduled to be made in 2010 in any event, due to increasing building activity. The
appointment of a Deputy Chief Building Official will provide an acting capacity to sustain
the City's ability to issue building permits and regulate construction until such time as a
Chief Building Official is appointed.

Consequently, it is recommended that Brenda Yarush be added to the schedule as
Deputy Chief Building Official. A corresponding revision is also necessary in the
definitions section of the By-law to address the Deputy Chief Building Official position.
A chief building official will be appointed through the City's normal recruiting procedure.
