Advertise for building director

Hernando County Building's Interium Director Joe Creech was lectured to be more friendly, improve their customer service and efficiency by the county commissioners last December when he was appointed to this temporary position by David Hamilton, the county administrator. This appointment was done without advertising position to the public. Mr. Hamilton justified this interium appointment of Mr. Creech because he stated the building department would be undergoing a reorganization in 2009.

Everyone is wondering when this reorganization of the building department will begin since it is already the month of May. The commissioners are in the process of making budget decisions for 2010. It would be prudent to include the building department in those decisions. If Mr. Hamilton has changed his mind about the reorganization of the building division then it is time the director's position is advertised to the public.
