The City of Smithville will have a new building inspector consultant starting Monday, July 1.
During Tuesday’s special meeting, the aldermen voted to employ Lewis Bryant of Cookeville to succeed Tim Staley, who is stepping down as building inspector.
Unlike Staley, Bryant will not draw a salary. The city will pay him a commission of 65% from funds collected through issuance of building related permits. Bryant, a certified building codes inspector, also works in a similar role for the City of Algood.
