New Code Enforcement Officer Hired

By John T. Ryan

Effective May 23, 2016, Robert Guynup will be the Town of Peru’s Code and Zoning Enforcement Officer (CEO). Guynup’s appointment was approved at the Monday, May 9, 2016 Town Board Meeting. Guynup replaces Frank Slycord who resigned in early March. Guynup will be on probationary status for one year. He must also pass the Clinton County Civil Service examination. His starting salary in Peru is $40,869.

Guynup has been a code compliance officer in the City of Bozeman, Montana for the past year. For the previous 15 years he was the code enforcement officer in the Towns of Wilmington and Black Brook, NY.

Supervisor Peter Glushko said, “I think we’ve come up with a good fit for the town. Bob has the experience and the personality for the position.” Town Board members, Zoning Board Chairman Rob Bashaw and Acting CEO Steve Imhoff participated in the interview process.

Several Peru building projects are underway or pending and a number of open building permits have to be closed. Councilman Donald McBrayer, Liaison to the Zoning and Code Enforcement Office, said, “It’s important that we hire someone who can hit the ground running.”
