Title
Development Services Department recommending the Board adopt a Resolution to amend Resolution 089-2010, the personnel resolution, deleting one (1) Building Inspector I/II and one (1) Assistant/Associate Planner resulting in reductions in force due to decreased revenue projections in FY 2010-11.
FUNDING: General Fund.
Resolution 143-2010
Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: DSD anticipates revenue shortfalls in FY 2010-11 of approximately $210,000. The proposed RIF's will result in FY 2010-11 savings of approximately $145,000 with annualized savings of $185,000 in FY 2011-12.

2. The Department has reduced the revenue projection for Current Planning by $100,000. This is primarily a result of declining volume of permit submittals and the completion of applications previously submitted. Permits include subdivision maps, parcel maps, zone change requests, and special use permits.
Background:

DSD recommends the reduction of one Building Inspector I/II to address most of the projected fiscal impact.
Planning Division: DSD projected revenue for FY 2010-11 based on a comprehensive review of existing workload and estimates of new workload. The Draft budget projections were prepared b...
