In response to that request staff has prepared the attached <br /> spreadsheets. <br /> The options which are shown include the following: <br /> Option 1: Filling the position as is but adding a temporary summer position to assist with code <br /> enforcement. <br /> Option 2: Hiring a Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector and upgrading both the Planning <br /> Associate and Economic Development Coordinator positions. The Planning Associate <br /> position would no longer be responsible for code enforcement but would have <br /> additional responsibilities including GIS,website management, internet surveying, <br /> neighborhood liaison, and community visioning. The Economic Development <br /> Coordinator position would assume responsibility for housing program development <br /> and management. <br /> Option 3: Hiring a Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector and upgrading only the Planning <br /> Associate position.Under this option, in addition to the changes outlined in option 2 <br /> above,the Planning Associate position would also assume responsibility for housing <br /> program development and management. <br /> The first series of spreadsheets shows the change in the salary costs of the options. The costs shown take <br /> into account cost savings do to hiring a housing inspector at step 1 and also normal step increases which <br /> would occur during 1999 and 2000. The second spread sheet shows the impact of the various options on <br /> the 2000 budget and the changes from the approved 1999 budget. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> Direction to staff on how to proceed to fill the vacant Housing Inspector position and to upgrade the <br /> Planning Associate and/or Economic Development Coordinator positions. <br /> e - , <br /> Rick Jopke <br /> Community Development Director <br /> 612-717-4021 <br />
