<br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date <br />Consent September 18, 2006 <br /> <br />Item Number <br />3.7. <br />Prepared by <br />Scott Clark, Community Develo ment <br />Director <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br />Item Description <br />Extension of Tern orary Buildin Ins ection Position <br /> <br />Introduction <br />On March 20, 2006 the City Council approved the hiring of a temporary building inspector through <br />October 26, 2006. The rationale for this action is illustrated on the attached request for action dated <br />3/20/06. Staff is seeking approval that this position be extended up to December 29,2006. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />The extension of the position is being sought to clean up permit work for roofing permits. In a typical <br />year the city may have 50 to 75 roofIng permits but due to the September of 2005 storm the building <br />division has received over 1100 permits to date. The temporary inspector has been critical to the Building <br />Division by doing all of the on-going roofIng, siding and deck permits. In addition, the position has done <br />general residential inspections with the net effect of having almost no overtime pay for the building <br />division. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />The additional cost for the extension is projected to be $7,800. The permit revenue to date has exceeded <br />fiscal year 2006 projections so no impact to the general fund will occur. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />.
