COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
City Council has continually supported excellent customer service. City Council discussed hiring an
additional Permit Technician at the January 21, 2014 Study Session. Council determined the additional
position was warranted and directed staff to take the necessary actions to appropriate funds and begin the
hiring process.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends City Council approve the attached resolution for a supplemental appropriation to the
2014 Budget for the following:
SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS:
GENERAL FU ND;
SOURCE OF FUNDS:
Unassigned Fund Balance
USE OF FUNDS:
Fire Department, Building Division -Permit Technician
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
$45,0.00
$45,000
Prior to 2014, the City employed two Permit Technicians. One Permit Technician retired in September 2013.
It was believed when the 2014 Budget was developed that one Permit Technician would be adequate, but
the elimination of the second Permit Technician has caused customer service to decline below acceptable
levels. Building Division requested that Council fund the hiring of a second Permit Technician to bring
customer service back to acceptable levels.
The amount appropriated is for the remainder of 2014 only; the annual cost of salary and benefits is
estimated at $54,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
This action will reduce the General Fund's Unassigned Fund Balance by $45,000.
