Consent Agenda <br />Indian River County <br />Interoffice Memorandum <br />Office of Management & Budget <br />To: Members of the Board of QotWty Commissioners <br />From: Jason E. Brown <br />Director, Office of Manage nt Budget <br />Date: May 28, 2013 <br />Subject: Building Division Staffing <br />Miscellaneous Budget Amendment 018 <br />Background Information <br />The Building Division inspection load increased by approximately 53% from fiscal year 2009/2010 to <br />2011/2012. During this same period, the total number of building inspectors and plans examiners has <br />decreased by two (2). Additionally, support staff was reduced by one position through attrition. As a <br />result, the number of inspections per inspector per day has dramatically increased. <br />Total Building Division staffing for the current fiscal year stands at 14 full-time positions. This is down <br />(over 73%) from a high of 52 full-time positions during the peak of the construction boom. <br />Recently, a noticeable increase in inspections with no change in inspection staffing levels has begun <br />to cause a daily increase in "rollovers", , which is defined as an inspection that could not be inspected <br />as scheduled and is rolled over one or more business days. This in turn creates scheduling problems <br />and delays for the contractors. <br />The increase in inspections and the increase in workday average daily inspections are shown below: <br />For calendar year 2013, the Building Department has had daily inspection work loads of up to 180 <br />inspections per day. <br />UPS <br />• <br />
