7Ce <br /> Consent Agenda <br /> Indian River County <br /> Interoffice Memorandum <br /> Office of Management & Budget <br /> To: Members of the Board of potLpty 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 /> Number of Increase • <br /> PriorFiscal Year Inspections <br /> 2009/2010 20,035 n/a <br /> 2010/2011 26,258 31.1% <br /> 2011/2012 307723 17.0% <br /> 2012/13 @ 4/30/13 18,964 n/a <br /> PriorAverage Daily Increase from <br /> Fiscal Year Inspections <br /> 2009/2010 80.8 n/a <br /> 2010/2011 105.9 31.1% <br /> 2011/2012 123.9 17.0% <br /> For calendar year 2013, the Building Department has had daily inspection work loads of up to 180 <br /> inspections per day. <br /> 18 <br />
