Board of Electrical Examiners Meeting November 5, 2026

The Murfreesboro Board of Electrical Examiners met on November 5, 2026. Members approved the May 7, 2026 minutes and discussed the 2023 electrical code and related local amendments, which are now in effect. The board also considered electing a chair; a motion was made to nominate Norman Fry and seconded, though the transcript does not clearly capture the final vote or outcome.

Staff demonstrated the planned Cityworks permitting portal, which will support electronic permit applications, fee payment, attachments, and status tracking. The city expects a phased rollout beginning with fence permits in the coming weeks, with broader permitting implementation anticipated around December or January 1; inspection requests will continue through existing channels for now. The transcript identifies no software contract award, vendor-selection decision, procurement vote, or related spending amount. Staff also described a one-stop service-counter initiative and reported that a contractor had been warned about possible licensing and work-practice concerns, with further board review possible if the issue is not resolved.
