DISCUSSION:
Due to staffing shortages, the Public Works department is needing to contract certain plan review and inspection services to its on-call consultants. Therefore, the Public Works department is requesting authorization to appropriate revenues and expenditures related to plan review and inspection services for development projects into its fiscal year 2021-2022 budget. Funds will be collected from applicants seeking permits from the Public Works department that require plan review and related inspections to cover the costs of consultants completing the plan review and inspections services.
There are several large development projects, including the new construction of industrial projects and residential subdivisions, that will require plan review of improvements drawings, final maps, utility connections, and public right-of-way improvements, and due to staffing shortages, the Department needs to appropriate revenues and expenditures related to these activities to be able to rely on on-call consultant services to provide temporary assistance in these activities.
