CITY MGR. a APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR BUILDING
DEPARTMENT PLAN CHECKING SERVICES
~ ~
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No, 73-75-, authorizing the appropriation of
funds for Building Department plan checking services.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Building Department contracts with ESGIL, a private corporation, for plan checking services to augment the abilities of the city staff. Under the terms of this agreement, the city pays ESGIL 80% of the plan check fee collected for any plan submitted to ESGIL for review. Therefore, the city is guaranteed that any costs associated with plan checking is
covered by the developer's fee.
The 1983-84 Building Department budget included an
appropriation of $120,000 for ESGIL services. As of Feburary,
1984, the city had paid ESGIL in excess of $105,000. By the end of this year, the costs for plan check services will reach about
$180,000, or $60,000 above the current budget,
The City has received actual plan check revenue of about
$341,000 as of the end of February, 1984, and will receive about
$500,000 by year end. This is 75% or $251,000 above the current budget.
The staff is asking council to approve an increase in the amount appropriated for plan checking services from $120,000 to
$180,000 by appropriating a portion of the additional revenue received from plan check fees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City will receive about $215,000 more in plan check revenue than was estimated in the original budget. The fiscal impact of appropriatinq a portion of these funds for the Building
Department plan check contract will be minor. The City will have about $1.6 million in unappropriated funds at year end. Some of this revenue will have been collected to provide plan check
services during 1983-84 and may be appropriated by council for
that purpose.
