I have also had several phone calls regarding the website and the lack of searchable information. We have switched over to our new computer system and the tables have not been created to allow inspectors to search for specific things like MNB#. This will be resolved by July 1, 2010.

We plan on building a search engine with the same fields as the previous one. If you have any other searchable fields you would like added to this please let me know prior to April 30, 2010.

One other favor I would like to ask of you………………

We recently switched to a new email system (Outlook) and somehow in the process I lost my address book with all the inspector contacts, so if you know of someone who did not receive this email from me that should, please send me their email address.

Thank you,

Joel T. Amato
