City fires employee, contracts with SafeBuilt for code enforcement

The City of Bandera will conduct code enforcement inspections through a third-party firm following the termination of its code enforcement employee in March, city officials said.

City Secretary and Interim City Administrator Jill Shelton confirmed that code enforcement officer Jon-Michael Davis was fired sometime in the latter half of March. She said the city has since contracted with SafeBuilt, a private company that provides municipal services, to handle inspections and related enforcement duties.

SafeBuilt is a Colorado- based firm that contracts with local governments across the country to provide services such as building inspections, plan review, permitting and code enforcement support.
