LEADING THROUGH LEARNING

Levi Henry, Engineering Techni- cian, completed the NC Code Offi- cials Building Level I Class, and plans to sit for the state exam to earn his standard certification for Level One Building Code Official in early 2018. This will enhance the coordination between engineering and building inspections related to site compliance, especially require- ments for pedestrian accessibility.

Joshua Baird, Stormwater Engineer, recently completed the NCAFPM Certified Flood- plain Manager (CFM) Pro- gram and may now use the title of CFM. This is a signifi- cant accomplishment for Joshua and the Town, and it will enhance all of our efforts related to flood hazard risk management.
