Golf Course The proposed Golf Course budget totals $3,105,394, reflecting an increase of $119,332 or 4.0%. No change in rates is proposed and the courses remain self-supporting. Building Division The proposed budget is $5,041,993, reflecting an increase of $395,760 or 8.5%. One (1) Building Liaison & Inspection Coordinator position is proposed in FY 2019/20. This additional full-time position will provide assistance in managing the increased customer volume handled by the Plans Examiner of the day as well as coordination of inspections. One concern noted in recent years is the ability to recruit additional Building Inspector and Plans Examiner positions. That recruitment issue is a common problem statewide and in growing areas nationally. We have successfully used contracted inspectors to keep daily inspections per inspector down to a manageable level and will continue working to improve customer service through reduced inspector loads. The FY 2019/20 budget includes $850,000 for this contracted expense. The Building Division is planning to implement a new online Building Permit development review software system. Itis anticipated that Building will implement this change first, with other departments to come online in the future. This change is not expected to negatively impact the budget and therefore level funding for this expense remains. Various EDP equipment is also proposed to support• digital plan review as well as improved communication in Planning & Zoning meetings. Utilities The Department of Utility Services recommended budget is $48,518,774, reflecting an increase of $1,409,296 or 3.0% (page 53). Due to the increase in operational workload due to new construction, as well as the ongoing effort to catch up on deferred capital and maintenance projects, the Department of Utility Services' budget includes the addition of the following eight (8) full-time positions: • Two (2) Project Managers to assist in the bidding and construction management of upcoming capital projects, renewal and replacement, and deferred maintenance 6 Water Production Operator B will allow for increased sick and vacation coverage at the North and South Water Treatment Plants, thus reducing the division's overtime expense. ® Water Production Operator C to operate the South Water Treatment Plant 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to ensure acceptable water levels in all storage tanks at all times. O Senior Account Clerk and Customer Service Representative to keep up with increased • customer volume. 16
