Date decision needed:
Objective: Funding for a portion of the Code
Compliance function.
Situation: A portion of the Code Compliance function
is funded by the Building Special Revenue Fund (the remainder is from the
General Fund/Planning Dept). Due to
reduced revenues in the Building Special Revenue Fund, the Code Compliance
function will be removed from that fund beginning June 1. The request is for
the General Fund to fund that portion of the Code Compliance function that the
Special Revenue Fund would have payed for during the
remainder of 2008. The
Proposal: That the General Fund pay for that portion
of the Code Compliance function that the Special Revenue Fund would have payed for during the remainder of 2008 ($56,904)
Advantages: This enables the Code Compliance function
to stay at its current level of service for the remainder of 2008, and places
the "level of service" decision regarding the code compliance
function in the 2009 Budget process when/where all county services will be so
judged.
Disadvantages: This will cost the General Fund $56,904
in 2008.
Requested action: I move that the cost for Code
Compliance be transferred from the Building Special Revenue Fund to the
Planning Department Budget, and that the Planning Department Budget be
supplemented in the amount of $56,904 from the General Fund fund
balance.
Potentially Affected Interest: County code compliance,
building and planning staff, the general public.
Level of Public Interest and Participations: Low
Audio/Visual/Computer Needs: None
