COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM D CONSENT X INFORMATIONAL PUBLIC HEARING REGULAR May 27,2003 Meeting MGR (~~ /DEPT ,/# Authorization REQUEST: Community Development Department Requesting Supplemental Appropriation for the Building Division Plans and Inspections Budget. PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to request a supplemental appropriation for the Building Division Plans and Inspections FY 2002/2003 Budget of $52,400. CONSIDERA TIONS: This supplemental appropriation is needed to cover additional costs associated with the volume of work being processed through the Building Division Plans and Inspections group and also to rectify shortages in individual expenditure line codes. These shortages are due to the segregation of the Building Division budgets for the first time this year without having accurate information on how the costs for the Plans and Inspections, Permit and License, and Delinquent Permit Fees should be allocated. The revenues for the plan review and building permit fees were projected to be $768,200 for FY 2002/2003. As we approach the 67% point of the fiscal year, current revenues as of May 16 were at $850,000 or 110%. A conservative projection to year-end will result in $250,000 in extra revenues for building permits and plan review fees. The largest appropriation requests are for additional overtime - $20,000, consulting- technical service - $20,000, and replacement computers - $4,000. The volume of work has necessitated the overtime increase to maintain a reasonable turnaround time for plan reviews. The consulting - technical services supplement is for increasing the time for the contract inspector with the possibility of using an additional contract inspector. The $4,000 is to replace the two inspectors' laptops as requested by the Information Services Department. . . .
