WESTFIELD – At its regular meeting on Thursday evening, the City Council quickly went through its agenda, completing many items that had been sent to committee and returned with a positive recommendation.
Among them was the unanimous confirmation of Carissa M. Lisee of Chicopee as Superintendent of Buildings for a term of three years, to fill the position which has been vacant since Jonathan Flagg resigned last August. At present, Springfield Deputy Building Superintendent Mark Hebert is handling the duties of Superintendent of Buildings for Westfield and overseeing the department through mutual aid.
Lisee has been serving as the Building Commissioner and Zoning Officer for the town of Granby. Prior to this position, she served as Assistant Building Commissioner for Chicopee. She has been certified as a Building Commissioner by the state, and a Building Official through the International Code Council.
“I’m anxious for this opportunity to get into the bigger city atmosphere. It was a great move. I really enjoyed Granby, but it’s too small for me,” said Lisee, who will begin her new position in Westfield on May 9.
