__ - v -. . �-' -- -_ I AUG 3 1983��.�, Pw 291 5 In discussion, Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that obtaining a barn permit, for instance, would entail less time and red tape than some other building permits and he felt that the fees should reflect that. Considerable discussion was held re the estimated cost, in staff—time, of completing the Division's development review -related work. Commissioner Wodtke inquired about the time involved in giving zoning permits for different activities, and Director King explained the staff time involved, noting that some things are very time consuming. Commissioner Wodtke then had questions as to the figures given for the work done by the Community Development Director, noting that it would work out to 74 weeks of work in a year. Director King confirmed that he works at a rate of 1.9 person's workload, and the Administrator confirmed that he works a lot of overtime. Commissioner Wodtke felt there should be a way to delegate more of the workload efficiently, and others should have some authority to make some decisions. Commissioner Wodtke then noted that under Community Development Director, a cost of $50,000 is listed and he wished to know if there are other people involved in that. Administrator Wright asked that it be kept in mind that these figures are estimates. He believed this is figured at an hourly rate and they figured $15.00-$20.00 per hour per person. The Administrator noted that they do not expect Director King to work as 1.9 persons and felt that as the level of efficiency of staff improved, this will change; it already is improving. He felt that the increased fees would pay for a larger staff and relieve Director King of significant overtime. 32 M
