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.
“Marshal Earl Heidelberg, a licensed code enforcement officer, is assisting with code enforcement needs,” Shelton said. “The City will evaluate long-term staffing needs and will provide updates if a formal recruitment process is initiated.”
The transition comes as the city works to maintain continuity in enforcement operations following the staffing change.
The Bandera Bulletin has requested additional information from the city regarding the circumstances surrounding Davis’ termination.
