Explanation
The purpose of this ordinance is to amend the current authorized strength, as set forth in ordinance 0150-2011, by amending the part-time, other fund sanctioned authorized strength of the Division of Design and Construction in the Public Service Department. An increase in ten (10) part-time positions is being added to this division's strength to accommodate an increased workload due to the amount and volume of projects being sold. Typically, while an increase in the volume of projects requires a commensurate increase in staffing, there are also generally increased revenues. As such, any added cost associated with these positions will be covered via increased revenues.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no net fiscal impact with passage of this ordinance. Any additional positions that may be added to the Division of Design and Construction as a result of the increased authorized strength being requested herein will in turn generate additional revenues for the division's construction inspection fund. The increased revenues will then be used to offset costs associated with the increase in strength.
