CIU OF CARLSBAD - AGEN~ BILL
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION DEP AB# (?9qlO
MTG. 1//18/q CIT’ TITLEm FOR CONTRACT PLAN CHECKING
DEPT. BLD CIT
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 87 -1 I? appropriating money from the General FI Contingency Account to the Building Department to cover contract plan check costs for fiscal year 1988-89.
ITEM EXPLANATION
The City’s Building Department contracts with ESGIL Corporation for pl
checking services. This contract provides considerable flexibility
processing plans through the Building Department and reduces the t. necessary for plan checking when compared to providing in-house services. 1 contract with ESGIL is based on a fixed formula which pays 80% of the Citj plan check fee to ESGIL, while returning the remainder of the fee to COI City costs.
The original budget did not anticipate the level of building that has occuri and, therefore, under funded the plan check services contract. The departmt has spent $213,509 through March and will spend approximately $24,000 I: month for the next three months. The request for $72,000 is based on thr months at $24,000.
The Community Development Director is requesting that $72,000 be added to t Building Department’s Mi scell aneous Consultants account to cover the additional plan check costs for the remainder of 1988-89. The estimat revenue for plan check services more than offsets this request.
FISCAL IMPACT
$72,000 will be transferred from the General Fund Contingency Account to t Building Department Mi scell aneous Consultants account (001-820-3610-2475
This transfer is offset by additional revenue from building related servic and will not negatively affect the City’s fiscal position.

FUND TRANSFER
We are requesting a fund transfer of $72,000 to cover contract building plan checl Esgil Corporation for the balance of our fiscal year, April 1 through June 30, 1988 been very difficult to foresee our plan check costs during this early period c management. Some developers responding to the conditions imposed by our various zo hasten to place plans in plan check to be ready for the release of the zones for Others might decide not to risk any fees until the zones are clear and permits can b This indecision is reflected in our billings from Esgil. For example, the invoici month of August, 1988, was $39,080 and for October, 1988, it was $16,863.
We are estimating $24,000 per month for the next three months as you will se tabulation below.
Esgil Invoices 7/1/88 thru 3/31/89 213,509
Plan Check Income 248,523
Balance for support services - DPS
Estimated Esgil Invoices 4/1 thru 6/30/89 72,000
Estimated Plan Check Income 4/1 thru 6/30/89
Balance for support service - DPS
35,014
82,840
10,840
TOTALS 285,509 331,363 45,854
The amount that was budgeted for fiscal year 1988-89 for the Miscellaneous Con account was $200,000. From the above figures it can be seen that this account has been over spent by $13, 508.
