Over the last decade staffing levels in the Code Enforcement Division have been
reduced significantly due to budgetary constraints. These staffing reductions have
negatively impacted the City’s ability to address public nuisance issues and both the
City Council and the community have expressed that code enforcement is a top priority.
Accordingly, CED is requesting $43,600 for the addition of two (2) full-time Code
Enforcement Officers this fiscal year. The fully burdened on-going annual cost is
$175,000.
Additionally, a Code Enforcement Division Manager is recommended to manage the
day-to-day operations. Currently, the Building Official manages this division, in addition
to all functions related to building and safety. The addition of a Code Enforcement
Manager will provide for a better span of supervisory control and guidance in both the
Code Enforcement and Building and Safety areas. Code Enforcement is a top priority
for the City, and as the program is rebuilt this position will become critical. The cost
associated with adding this position this fiscal year is $11,300, with an effective date of
June 1st. The fully burdened annual cost is $135,000.
This addition of staff requires $105,000 for the purchase of three code enforcement
vehicles. The division is currently short one vehicle and the two additional new Code
Enforcement Officers will require vehicles.

budget constraints, shifting administrative and clerical duties to management and
technical staff. To address this, the addition of an Executive Assistant to the Director i s
requested, costing $7,100 in the current year, and $84,300 annually going forward.
With development continuing to steadily grow within the City, the addition of a Deputy
Director/City Planner position is requested. This position is critical to effectively handling
the continued request for services from CED and will be responsible for managing,
