County Fire Marshal's Office. Niblock said with approval, it would be possible for one
inspector to accomplish different inspections at one site, and this would increase productivity.
A copy of the incentive proposal is as follows:
Building Code Inspector's Career Development
The Inspections Department desires to have each Building Code Inspector be qualified to perform
Standard Level III• inspections in all trades. This allows each Inspector to inspect any structure in an
assigned geographic area regardless of the size of the structure. This plan has been established to
recognize the value of the work being performed at the most complex level of inspections as well as to
offer financial incentives to employees to secure and maintain Standard Level I, II and III certifications.
Classifications
Iredell County recognizes 3 levels of Building Code Inspectors: Building Code Inspector I,
Building Code Inspector II, and Building Code Inspector III.
Point System
Inspectors are classified based on the number of points they receive for each level of certification they
maintain. Points are awarded as follows: 1 point for each Standard Level I certificate; 2 points for each
Standard Level II certificate; and 3 points for each Standard Level III certificate.
Classification Standards
Classification standards are as follows: a Building Code Inspector I must maintain between I and 5 points;
a Building Code Inspector II must maintain between 6 and 9 points; and a Building Code Inspector III
must maintain 10 or more points.
Career Development
Iredell County will promote the career advancement of its Inspectors to acquire Building Code
Inspector III classification with Level III Standard certificates in all foar building trades.
The hiring rates offered to Building Code Inspectors will be based on the point system
