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: Indian River County Approved Date <br /> Administrator �j 1p /3 <br /> BY: <br /> Jose h A.
