What's your title?

Here we have Inspector of Buildings/Building Commisioner and Local Inspector. State law requires each city or town to employ an Inspector of Buildings/Building Commisioner, an other inspectors under the BC is a local inspector, despite certifications. If the commisioner is let go , by default, the remaining inspector would be the IB/BC as it's a required position, albeit maybe temporarily while a new BC is hired. It almost sounds like rather than cut pay, they simply cut a position and promoted you without the pay increase to save money.
 



Building Official: Any officer or employee of the Village authorized to administer or

enforce any provision of this chapter or any provision of this Code that is administered

pursuant to this chapter. The term “Building Official” shall include: the Village Manager;

the Development Manager; the Planning Manager; the Code Enforcement Officer; the

Director of Public Works; the Village Engineer the Fire Chief, or their designate. It is

expressly intended that those officials shall be, and are empowered to enforce the provisions

of the International Building Code and this Code including the initiating and signing of

formal complaints alleging violations of such provisions.

Seems like everybody there is the "Building Official" and anybody can make a code determination. So how about Building Department Administrator? As I understand it you assumed admin duties and oversee clerical staff. Should cover it and look good on the resume if ever needed.

Bingo! And in this economy, I'm damn glad to be here! (regardless of title)
