He continued by saying the money needed to pay wages for the inspector would come from a slight inspection fee raise and will be added to the building permit cost, and a space will be added on the permit for the fire inspector to sign. The employee would probably come from out of the area and would also be responsible for training fire chiefs. 'It will also be a benefit to the city', Newton said.
