CI10 OF SAN BERNARDIQ) - REQUOr FOR COUNCIL AC'CoN
STAFF REPORT
Since 1975 the Business License Division of the City Clerk's
Office has employed two full time business license inspectors.
During this time the number of business licenses issued has
increased by 58% from 6,690 to 10,600. At the same time the
geographical area of San Bernardino has grown by four square miles.
In order to accommodate the increasing workload for the business
license inspectors, we have consistantly streamlined and refined
operating procedures to preclude the addition of personnel in the
above mentioned classification. However, we now conclude that a
point has been reached where the two current business license
inspectors cannot keep up with the licensing activity, and as a
result, a significant amount of business license revenue may be
going uncollected.
Therefore, we are proposing a pilot program to determine if an
additional license inspector position can be supported in the
1985-86 budget. The pilot program would be implemented and moni-
tored similar to that of the recently successful business license
audit program. An additional license inspector would be hired
temporarily for a period of six months working forty hours per
week. The pay rate would be $7.6788 which is commensurate with
the A step of business license inspectors.
The cost of the total pilot program including the use of a used
city vehicle would be $8,700.00. It is estimated that additional
revenue of $36,000.00 could be generated by the pilot program.
