As an electrician, I will tell you 120volts does kill. As far as an electrical review on a re-decking, it should not be required unless the electrical was modified or not inspected when it was first installed, I would fight them on that one.
I have water on my dock, do I need a plumbing review? I would have them show me the town ordances regarding docks, decking, electrical, plumbing and not do anything that is not required by state or local law. Best industry practices are just that, practices not legal requirements.
Looks to me like they are looking to pad the budget other ways because permits are down and we would not want to reduce staff. I can tell you what is next, the inspectors will start waiting at the bridge and following contractors onto the island to see were they are working, I use to see that all the time when I was in the trades.
