SUBJECT: BUILDING ACTT.JITY
Building activity in the City of Carlsbad has increased
substantially over last year. On a calendar year basis,
the valuation of building permits issued during the first
10 months of 1976 was $69,120,630 compared to $20,465,788
for the sane period in 1975.
On a fiscal year basis, the first four months of the 1976- ;
77 fiscal year compared with the same period during the
1975-76 fiscal year is indicated as follows:
1975-76 No. of 1976-77 No. of
Bldg. Valuation Permits Bldg. Valuation Permits
July $ i,257,936 77 $24,017,335* 1118
s
Aug $ 2,672,584 69 $ 1,665,082 60
j Sept $ 4,884,042 114 $ 8,671,174 149 `
Oct $ 2,894,211 84 $14,455,331 381
$11,108,773 344 $48,808,922 708
* (Includes $18,800,000 for SDG & E Power Plant construction)
From the above table, it is clear the building activity+s up
substantially. Even if the value of the permit issued for the
SDG & E power plant expansion is deducted ($48,808,922 7
$18,800,000 = $30,008,922) the remaining building valuation is
still nearly three t_mes as great for the same period last fis-
cal year.
Estimated revenues for the Building Department for the 1976-77
fiscal year were budgeted at $195,000. Actual revenue for the
first four monthsof the fiscal year was $223,939 (as compared
to $76,570 for the same period last fiscal year).
Building Department expenditures are budgeted at $133,107 in
the 1976-77 fiscal year budget. However, it should be appar-
ent that the workload in the department will increase substan-
tially as indicated by the number of permits issued. In order
to provide proper inspection services, it will be necessary to
hire temporary help. The Building Department indicates that
two temporary inspectors should provide adequate staff to insure
th4t All xgguired inspection will be conducted in a thorough and
timely manner.

Subject: Building Activity
Increased field activities will also create additional
workload for the Building Department (clerical staff as
well) and it may be necessary to hire temporary clerical
staff.
Therefore, it is recommended that the Building Department
be authorized to hire two temporary inspectors for the
remainder of the fiscal year as the workload requires, as
well as temporary clerical help, if needed.
Changes in the permanent complement of inspectors should
be considered as part of next year's budget process. Hope-
fully, by that time, a clearer understanding of the need
,for additional permanent inspectors will be possible.
