The Dalles Mayor Steve Lawrence says the City has told Wasco County officials they will work them to find a solution to the on-going question of how building code services will be delivered.  Wasco County had told the state it would turn that duty over to them on October 31, but rescinded that when the state said they would not establish an office in The Dalles.  Lawrence notes the state has also said counties must have ownership of the program rather than cities, but they will work with them.  There is four million dollars in reserve money available from the building codes program when it was administered by the Mid-Columbia Council of Governments, but Lawrence also points out that Sherman, Gilliam, and Wheeler counties were involved with that, and an audit would be needed to determined how those should be broken out.  Lawrence added the possibility remains those three counties could be a part of a local solution.
