Board of County Commissioners <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />May 28, 2013 <br />In order to keep pace with the increase in activity, staff is recommending an additional Building <br />Support Specialist position. The addition of this position will assist the Building Division staff in efforts <br />to meet the demands of what appears to be a revitalization of the construction environment. <br />Funding <br />The additional position (Building Support Specialist) will have an estimated annual cost of $35,960, <br />including salary and benefits. Funding for the additional position will be provided from Building <br />Department revenues. Building Division revenues for the current fiscal year are up 25.9% <br />(approximately $242,000) from last fiscal year through the end of April. It should be noted that the <br />Building Division operated at a profit of about $260,000 for fiscal year 2011/12. Therefore, staff <br />anticipates that building permit revenues will be sufficient to fund these additional expenses. <br />The Building Division is an enterprise fund that is fully supported by building permit fees. No ad <br />valorem tax dollars are used to support this department. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends that the Board of Commissioners approve funding for the new position of Building <br />Support Specialist in the Building Division. <br />Additionally, staff recommends that the Board of Commissioners approve the attached Budget <br />Amendment 018 and resolution amending the fiscal year 2012/2013 budget. Funding in the amount <br />of $35,960 will be provided from Building Division revenues. <br />Attachments <br />Budget Amendment 018 and Resolution <br />APPROVED AGENDA ITEM: <br />BY: <br />Jose h A.
