PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to request a supplemental appropriation of $111,550 for the Development Services Plans and Inspections FY 2003/2004 Budget. CONSIDERA TIONS: This supplemental appropriation is needed to cover additional costs primarily associated with the contract inspection services. In addition, there are increases requested for consulting services, software, printer replacement, new code books and training. The approved budget for contract inspection had contemplated two part time contract inspectors. Due to the additional workload associated with increased commercial development for both plan review and field inspections, both contract inspectors are being used full time. One of the contract inspectors is also used for plan reviews specifically to provide an expedited turn around for plan revision submittals. This has significantly improved the plan review portion of the permitting review process. The revenues for the plan review and building permit fees were projected to be $1,200,000 for FY 2003/2004. As of April 30th, these revenues were at 43% for the year versus the 58% anticipated. However, there are several commercial buildings (Building 2 Town Center, Building 7 in Office Park, Villagio outparcels) as well as the HigWand Apartments which will be significant revenue generators in the next few months.
