Why is it critical to fill this position? What options were considered? v
Allowing Fernando Nievas(current Development Services Technician)to be
placed in a"Higher Acting"capacity as a Building Inspector II,will place a
trained and qualified inspector into the position and ensure a minimum number of cc
carry-over inspections. Mr.Nievas is also bilingual,adding another asset to the a
.field.
Another option is to contact one of our consultants and request an inspector. This
would result in the inspector having to learn our computer system, city layout and
policies. The learning curve and processing time would be approximately two to
three weeks, Unfortunately, with staff reductions this would be detrimental to the
inspection times.
During the period Mr.Nievas is"higher acting"as a Building Inspector 11 a fiilly
trained counter person is needed to assume the duties of the Development
Services Technician as his assignment will leave only one technician, already
down from four. As the workload is increasing,the department is requesting the
provisional appointment of Lane Quade,who was a Development Services

Technician in the department prior to being laid-off in November 2012 due to
budget reductions.
What is the potential impact of keeping the position vacant in terms of
City/Community services?
The maximum amount of daily inspections is 15 to 17 per inspector. With only
two inspectors the department will have to carry over inspections and extend
inspection times, making it difficult to schedule high profile projects which
demand inspections within a 24 hour period.
Is this the result of Personnel Committee action? NO

Lane Quade:
Mr. Quade previously assumed the duties of the Development Services
Technician for seven years and is completely trained in the permit process °.
