After a lengthy search, the township has hired a new chief building official.
Former Wellington North building inspector Patty Wright officially began her duties as Mapleton CBO on May 20. A bylaw appointing her to the position was passed by council at the May 13 meeting. Wright has worked in the building department at Wellington North for the past four years.
Council also passed a bylaw appointing Jamie Garrison as building and plumbing inspector at the May 13 meeting.
The township has been without a permanent CBO since David Kopp resigned from his position on Aug. 31.
Don Johnson, a retired building official from Ingersoll, has been acting CBO for Mapleton since last October, while Wellington North CBO Darren Jones has also helped out.
