BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Building Division has existing contracts in place for building inspector and plans examination services. Recently a Building Inspector II retired and the recruiting process has proven to be difficult. Building and Human Resources staff are working together on a salary analysis for the Building Inspector II position and this will add additional time to that recruiting process. The amount being requested will provide funding for a contracted position for the entire fiscal in the event we are unsuccessful in the recruiting process. Staff recommends adopting a resolution appropriating additional funds in the amount of $160,000 to the Building Division Professional Services account to cover any necessary costs associated with contracting out the Building Inspector II position. FISCAL IMPACT: Costs are covered by Building Division Revenue - FUNDING AVAILABLE: Building Inspection Fund (27081000) SS/DC/kjc JordaA Ayers Deputy City Manager/Internal Services Director APPROVED: Steve chwabauer Community Development Director Manager 7/1/2015 JACommunity Development\Council Communications\2015\07-15 BuildinglnspectorServices_AppropriateFunds062215 doc 1.
