There is hereby created the office of "electrical inspector" of the county as defined herein. Such electrical inspector shall be a person familiar with all types of electrical installations and methods and shall be familiar with the electrical code of any affected municipality. Such inspector shall be appointed by the board of county commissioners of the affected county to serve such term as they may prescribe and to be paid such compensation as they may in their discretion see fit to set. Said county commissioners shall hire such deputy electrical inspectors for such terms and at such compensation as they may deem necessary.
It shall be the duty of said "electrical inspector" and such deputy electrical inspectors as may be appointed hereunder to inspect all electrical installations on both new construction, changes, revisions or remodeling of existing structures to determine that all such installations are in strict conformity with this act and the electrical code of the city, as defined herein, and to determine that all such installations are performed by competent, licensed workmen according to the classifications herein contained. The county commissioners of any such county shall determine and fix the reasonable fees to be charged therefor and said fees shall be of a sum sufficient to meet the expenses of operation of the office of the electrical inspector, herein created. All of such electrical inspection fees shall be payable to the general fund of any county as herein defined as to that work and inspection done in the county and outside the corporate limits of any municipality located in said county.
The electrical inspector as herein created shall adopt such rules in regard to the method of inspection and the time thereof as may be necessary and proper to carry out the intent of this act, but all of such rules and regulations shall be in strict accordance with the terms of this act and with the electrical code of any affected municipality adopted herein. After notice is received by the office of the electrical inspector of a desire by any builder, contractor or home owner for an electrical inspection, the same shall be accomplished as practicable and within a reasonable time, keeping in mind the necessity of prompt completion of all new construction and remodeling of existing constructions.
