Consider Community Development — Code Enforcement, Permits, and In- spections Division Staff Restructuring As detailed in the RCA, City Manager Trudgeon briefly reviewed this request for department restructuring, again based on current work loads and the recent re- tirement of a sixteen-year Code Enforcement Officer. Councilmember Etten asked for clarification on the position entitled, "Senior Of- fice Assistant" and reporting structure of these positions. Community Development Director Kari Collins clarified that the Senior Office Assistant was a previous title and the positions had been in existence for at least the last four years; and also reported that all positions under this discussion would continue to be direct reports to the Building Official. Ms. Collins noted that with the creation of an Assistant Building Official certain duties would be embedded in that job description(e.g. training). Given the successful nature of the current Neighborhood and Business Enhance- ment Programs, Councilmember Laliberte sought assurance that the rotating schedule would continue to be maintained by staff to ensure that success. Ms. Collins stated that staff thought this structure would even make those pro- grams better by allowing timely responses to any outstanding issues or com- plaints, using seasonal assistance if and when needed. At the request of Mayor Roe, Ms. Collins clarified the Code Enforcement Officer positions and their status and changes to the name of the position advertised with- in the realm of new industry standards, but not through any decommissioning of those actual duties. Mayor Roe offered an opportunity for public comment, with no one speaking for or against. McGehee moved, Etten seconded, approval of a newly-created Assistant Building Official position; and authorizing staff to restructure the Division with the identi- fied positions as outlined in the staff report of today's date.
