...body
EXPLANATION: The Building department experienced an increase in permit requests directly reflected by revenues in excess of that projected for FY 2017-2018. This translated to a greater number of plan reviews and inspection requests in late 2018. Department staff time has also been required for the ERP system development and conversion. The increased inspection activity is expected to continue through the end of this fiscal year. The Building department's FY 2018-2019 operating and personnel budget is not sufficient to provide funding for the services associated with the higher permit activity and the need for outside inspection services will exceed the approved budget.
In December 2018, Council approved a contract with CAP Government to provide outside inspection services up to $90,000 annually. Staff requests an additional $75,000 for the contract, up to $165,000. Resolution No. R2019-18 will allocate $100,000 from Building Fund reserves to the operating budget for the CAP contract and customer service support. The additional revenue generated last year is available in the fund balances and will be allocated to cover cost the needed services.
