move. The City of Menifee currently has a temp office assistant working
in the office helping with scheduling inspections, filing, answering
phone and numerous fire duties. We obtained a Fire Permit Tech
position and has recently been filled. The Fire Permit Tech will serve the
counter, assist customers with fire related questions, take in fire plans,
issue permits and will offer exceptional customer service to the new
Fire counter.
In between inspections, plan reviews, document retention, scheduling,
billing, as well as required reports, Menifee staff has a full workload as
do other divisions in this growing community.
The Fire Marshal services provided locally continue to receive positive
comments on service delivery and assistance to t he public and business
community from customers, City staff and the Development
community.
