For Immediate Release: October 17, 2007
Contact: Tony Hozeny, Department of Commerce, 608/267-9661

MADISON - Department of Commerce (Commerce) Secretary Mary P. Burke today announced that Commerce has delegated the Town of Martell, Pierce County, the authority to conduct inspections of all commercial buildings located within its municipality.

"The Town of Martell joins over 160 other state municipalities that have been delegated the authority to provide specified plan review services and conduct inspections on behalf of Commerce," Burke said. "This gives municipalities the opportunity to provide services on behalf of the state as well as their own enforcement activities on projects within the scope of their delegated authority. Typically, municipalities can provide more immediate service to local projects."

Under agent delegation agreement, Todd Dolan will be responsible for inspections and plan reviews for the Town of Martell.

Municipalities seeking further information regarding the commercial building agent program should contact Henry Kosaryzcki, Commerce, at 608/212-0138. Owners seeking submittal information to the scope of their projects can contact the Town of Martell or Henry Kosarzycki.
