|
| | | | | | | | Agenda Title:
| Budget Adjustment & Appropriation for Additional Overtime Expenditures for the Building Safety Office |
|
| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
| Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approves the attached budget adjustment and appropriation. |
|
| | | | | | | | Summary:
| Building Safety budgeted $10,844 for Overtime in FY’19. To date we have had over 2,000 permits applied for. This number does not include permits that were applied for in FY’18 that had not yet been approved prior to the start of FY’19. Due to back log of plan review and having Targeted Industry projects that need to be approved quickly, plan reviewers have had to work overtime to maintain our goal for plan review time frames. Also, due to the increase in permits and the size of the projects, the number of inspections that are being requested has increased. We have had to cut inspections off every day, which is not allowing all customers to have their inspections performed on the day they need it. Inspectors have been and will continue to need to work overtime in order to maintain good customer services. To date we have over-expended our budgeted overtime by 29% (approximately $3,000 over amount budgeted at this time). To cover the cost for the remainder of FY’19 we are asking for an additional $25,000 for our overtime line item. $3,000 will cover what we are already over and $22,000 will cover what we anticipate will be needed for the remainder of the FY’19 budget.
Building fee revenue to date is 79% of the projection for the full budget year. We anticipate that by the end of the fiscal year, revenue will exceed projections by $500,000. We would like to use a small portion of this additional revenue to fund the $25,000 in additional overtime necessary to complete the year. |

| | | | | | | | Additional Background/Other Considerations:
| None
|
|
| | | | | | | | Consequence of Denial/Inaction:
| Unless directed otherwise, if this request is denied, overtime will continue occurring in the Building Safety Office in order to meet the customer demand for permits, plan reviews, and inspections. Consequently, the department’s overtime budget will continue to be over budget for the remainder of the year. |
