cf <br /> Ells _ REQUEST FOR ACTION <br /> River <br /> TO ITEM NUMBER <br /> Mayor and City Council 6.3 <br /> AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY <br /> Work Session Aril 8, 2013 Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By <br /> Summer Office Hours Policy <br /> REVIEWED BY <br /> ACTION REQUESTED <br /> Review and discuss proposed draft of a Summer Office Hours policy. Provide staff direction. <br /> BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION <br /> At the March 11,2013, Council Work Session,we discussed an alternative city hall office hours policy <br /> that originated as a Council Goal for improved services and costs savings. <br /> While there is, little evidence that changing office hours provides a cost savings, there may be an <br /> opportunity to provide a service level benefit to residents and scheduling benefits for employees, <br /> especially in consideration of our local state culture. <br /> Attached is a proposed draft policy for the Council to review and discuss. The Mayor suggested longer <br /> business hours for building inspections and permitting. The draft policy does not include specific <br /> extended hours for building inspections. Staff agrees this may be a beneficial service improvement,but as <br /> the policy is for nearly all city hall employees,we suggest having the building safety division set their own <br /> inspection schedule independent of the policy. Staff is open to further discussion but suggests advertising <br /> extended permit and inspection hours on Mondays by appointment. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT <br /> N/A <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> ■ Summer Office Hours Policy Draft <br /> Action Motion by Second by Vote <br /> Follow Up <br /> N:\Public Bodies\City Council\Council RCA\Agenda Packet\04-08-2013\Summer Officer Hours Staff Report.docx INAWR <br />
