BILL HARRISON
explained, the conflict of inspecting one’s own work being obvious.
All four applicants were interviewed by Mr. McCartly and the supervisors. “On balance,” Mr. McCarthy said, “Mr. Harrison was the best qualified.”
Although Mr. Harrison does not presently hold a state certification as an inspector, Mr. McCarthy said the Commonwealth allows three years for inspectors to become certified. Mr. Harrison will be attending a seminar for new inspectors, probably in the fall.
“None of the applicants,” Mr. McCarthy noted, “applied for the job with state certification in hand. That is why the state allows the threeyear period.
“The position is such that stringent requirements must be met,” Mr. McCarthy added. “It requires experience in a supervisory capacity in architecture, engineering, teaching, contracting or some other phase of the building trades; or a combination of a degree and experience.”
Mr. Harrison will be working out of the county’s Building and Zoning office, located on Main Street in Washington. Residents needing information about permits, codes and other building or zoning matters should call the office at 675-3342. Office hours are 8:30 to 4:30, Monday through Friday.
Mr. Harrison has been a Rappahannock County resident since 1965. He lives on Rt. 231 outside Sperryville with his wife Jeanne and their daughter Anna. Since December of last year he has been the interim pastor at Reynolds United Methodist Church in Sperryville.
