BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: N/A
Background: The Plans Examiner position was created during the FY20/21 Budget Cycle and is currently vacant. The position should be classified in the same pay grade as a Building Inspector III. The Building Official respectfully requests that the above recommendations are approved.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Total cost of recommendation: The cost to FY21 is TBD. The position was budgeted at $44,477 for FY21. The cost depends on when the position is filled and on the salary of the new employee. If it is filled at the Grade 315 base of $49,982.40, it could cost approximately $5,500 (salary only; does not include additional fringe costs). Grade S313 is a salary exempt position with a range of $44,470.40 to $72,883.20, and Grade 315 is an hourly position with a range of $49,982.40 to $81,889.60. Grade 315 allows for overtime expenses that are not normally incurred with a salary exempt position.
Budget line item(s) to be used: 52710 salary/fringe accounts
If this is not a budgeted expenditure, does the recommendation create a need for funding? Yes. The FY21 budget included a salary budget for the Plans Examiner of $44,477 (total payroll budget of $58,032). Moving the position to Grade 315 will change the budget going forward, at minimum, to the base Grade 315 salary of $49,982 (total payroll budget of $64,377), i.e. a minimum cost of approximately $6,345. Until a start date and salary are determined, Budget staff cannot provide exact numbers. If a budget amendment is needed to accommodate this change, it will be brought to the Commission for approval at a later date.
