STAFF REPORT
Problem: There is clear evidence to indicate that present
staffing of new construction inspection and code compliance
is inadequate to effectively serve the community.
Recommendation:
l. Direct the
revenues for
$633,300 and
$340,000.
2. Direct the Finance Director to encumber
for implementation of other Building and
recommendations.
3. Approve the recruitment and employment of two
general building inspectors and one Code Compliance
officer, and the purchase of materials, services,
supplies and equipment to support the personnel.

Findings: The Mayor and Common Council on August 4, 1986
requested a staff report; which was presented at the meeting
of August la and referred to Legislative Review Committee for
further review. The legislative Review committee directed
revenue estimated for the current year be reevaulated and a
recommendation be brought back before the Council regarding
funding of additional personnel.
The analysis focused on the two primary sources of Building
and Safety revenue; Building and Mechanical Permits. The
analysis reviewed the growth of these funds, noting signif-
icant growth in the last two quarters of fiscal year 19a5-a6.
The estimates for this year, $Sa3,300 in Building Permits and
$3l0,000 in Mechanical Permits are approximately $l20,000
less than actual revenues received last fiscal year.
One of the primary concerns is the lack of control or
identification of the external factors that cause local
fluctuations in building activities. Our recommendations are
based on conservative considerations of potential growth.
Additionally the recommendations recognize the Proposition
Four requirement that funds collected be used to provide
departmental services. Finally, revisions to financial plans
should occur at mid-year, and further review and analysis
would be appropiate.
with regards to actual staff increases, both the area of new
construction and code compliance are in need. Certificates of
Occupancy, Construction without permits, Open permits, and
Mobilehome park inspections are all areas that, in part, can
be helped through the employment of additional inspectors.

o
o
Given the limited resources, the most effective use of
additional personnel is to provide both new construction and
code compliance with new staff. These positions will provide
one and one-half additional personnel to each area. This is
accomplished through the hiring of two General Building
Inspectors and one Code Compliance Officer. The second
Building Inspector can be worked in both Code Compliance and
also in New Construction. The increased staff will allow for
additional time to be spent by all inspectors on Construction
without permits, Certificates of Occupancy, Open permits, and
Mobilehome inspections. The estimated cost of providing these
services for the last six months of the fiscal year is
$65,000 for the balance of the year.
It should also be noted that the additional personnel
identified in the origional analysis are still needed. The
overall effectiveness will still be less than that which is
desired or appropiate for a city of this size.
