Brewer
hires new code enforcement officer
The city’s newly appointed code
enforcement officer is new to the post, but has been around for more
than a year serving as the deputy code officer, departing code
officer Rodney Butler said Wednesday.
“That is why he
is ready to step right in,” said Butler, who leaves the job Friday,
Sept. 9.
Butler accepted
an engineering position with Poland Springs Water Co., “a position
well suited to his educational and professional background,” said
City Manager Steve Bost.
“He’s a highly
sought after individual,” he said.
Bost said he
offered the job to Ben Breadmore, assistant code enforcement
officer, and Breadmore accepted the position. His hiring has been
placed on the Sept. 13 City Council meeting agenda, the city manager
said.
“He’ll do a
wonderful job as the new code officer,” Bost said. “He’s been with
Rodney for the better part of a year now and he has obtained all of
the required credentials.”
Breadmore also
has a bachelor’s degree in public administration from the
University of
Maine, where he studied public policy and education.
Bulter was a
wonderful asset to Brewer, especially with “his encyclopedic
knowledge of our codes and ordinances, his friendly demeanor and dry
wit,” Bost said in a memo to councilors. “We wish him well in his
new position.”
Butler said
departing Brewer is bittersweet.
“I’m going to
miss Brewer,” he said. “They are great to work with and I really
enjoyed my time here but this is such a great opportunity for me and
my family.”
