There is hereby created the office of "electrical inspector" of

the county as defined herein. Such electrical inspector shall be a

person familiar with all types of electrical installations and

methods and shall be familiar with the electrical code of any

affected municipality. Such inspector shall be appointed by the

board of county commissioners of the affected county to serve such

term as they may prescribe and to be paid such compensation as they

may in their discretion see fit to set. Said county commissioners

shall hire such deputy electrical inspectors for such terms and at

such compensation as they may deem necessary.

It shall be the duty of said "electrical inspector" and such

deputy electrical inspectors as may be appointed hereunder to

inspect all electrical installations on both new construction,

changes, revisions or remodeling of existing structures to determine

that all such installations are in strict conformity with this act

and the electrical code of the city, as defined herein, and to

determine that all such installations are performed by competent,

licensed workmen according to the classifications herein contained.

The county commissioners of any such county shall determine and fix

the reasonable fees to be charged therefor and said fees shall be of

a sum sufficient to meet the expenses of operation of the office of

the electrical inspector, herein created. All of such electrical

inspection fees shall be payable to the general fund of any county

as herein defined as to that work and inspection done in the county

and outside the corporate limits of any municipality located in said

county.

The electrical inspector as herein created shall adopt such

rules in regard to the method of inspection and the time thereof as

may be necessary and proper to carry out the intent of this act, but

all of such rules and regulations shall be in strict accordance with

the terms of this act and with the electrical code of any affected

municipality adopted herein. After notice is received by the office

of the electrical inspector of a desire by any builder, contractor

or home owner for an electrical inspection, the same shall be

accomplished as practicable and within a reasonable time, keeping in

mind the necessity of prompt completion of all new construction and

remodeling of existing constructions.
