CONSENT C ALENDAR
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUCE A. COLEMAN, ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
VIA: F. M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER/1
DATE: DECEMBER 19, 2005
SUBJECT: BUILDING DIVISION BUDGET REVISION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council: Receive and File this report.
BACKGROUND
Building costs for plan check and inspection consultants are projected to exceed their budgeted
amount by approximately $70,000 based on projected activity through the remainder of the fiscal
year. An increased number of owner-builder single family home remodels which are more labor-
intensive for Building Division staff; the need for key staff to spend more time in Rosedale pre-
construction and redevelopment project meetings; building inspector vacation coverage; and an
increase in two-story residential developments which require additional engineering expertise have
all led to costs exceeding projections. Pursuant to the authority granted by the Municipal Code, the
City Manager has authorized a transfer from salary savings into plan check/inspection contract
services of $70,000 increasing them from $58,200 to $128,200, using salary savings created by an
unfilled budgeted building inspector position. The need for the building inspector position will be
reconsidered as part of the budget process and based upon a review of the organizational structure
of the Community Development Department.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no increase to the overall budget proposed as part of this action.
