FY 24-26 ADOPTED BUDGET

Building (continued)

Financial Comments Pending the adoption of the Development Services Fee Study, the Building Division budget includes an additional full - time Fire/Building Inspector and a portion of a Management Analyst. The last division fee study was performed in 2017. The fees study will ensure that the development fees being charged will continue to cover all of the functions being performed by the division with the additional expenditures of the new positions. The addition of a Fire/Building Inspector is essential to address the current and projected workload. Currently the Building Manager is the only person certified to perform fire prevention plan review and inspections, and the City has only two Building Inspectors designated to perform inspections. The addition of a Fire/Building Inspector will assist with the growing workload which has increased 34% since FY 2021 - 22 and provide the cross coverage needed for fire prevention and building inspection activities allowing the division to meet legislative deadlines and development expectations.
