In 2010 it was close to 35% of inspections and the majority of the plan review. <br />In addition, they estimate an average of 30 minutes per inspection. They have been able to <br />keep for the most part the same contract inspectors which become familiar with the City and <br />processes. We have also modeled that scenario with the following assumptions. This <br />scenario simply takes that process and would need further evaluation to determine <br />practicality. <br />Assumptions (Exhibit 2) <br />• Given the volume of our inspections, we modeled 30% of the inspections <br />being performed by the building official. We have not examined if that is <br />feasible at this time. <br />• We used 45 minutes per inspection since the City of Elk River is 44 square <br />miles and the City of Ramsey is 29.7 square miles. <br />• We also used the $50 per hour rate. <br />Exhibit 2- Building Inspection Comparison <br />300,000 <br />250,000 <br />200,000 <br />150,000 <br />100, 000 <br />50,000 <br />241,806.71 <br />2010 <br />120,031.57 <br />50,794 <br />2011YTD <br />^ Ramsey Contract <br />oActual Expenditures <br />N:APublic Bodies\Ciry Council\Council RCA\Agcnda Packct\08-01-?011 \Buildingsafcrybudgen~2 (2).doc <br />
