AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board of Commissioners BOCC Wednesday Meeting of October 2, 2019
DATE: September 26, 2019
FROM: Andrea Perkins, Finance,
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Board Signature of Resolution No. 2019-045, Appropriating Funds and
Increasing FTE for Code Enforcement Officer CDD
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2019-045 appropriating funds and increasing
FTE in the Community Development Fund by 1.0 FTE.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the Community Development
Department's (CDD) request to hire an on-call code enforcement specialist in the FY 2019-
20 budget to manage increasing complaints and caseload. The approved budget allocated
$33,000 for the on-call staff. Since spring, the number of complaints and cases have
further increased; the City of Sisters has requested County CDD consider providing solid
waste code enforcement on a fee for service basis; and CDD attempted to hire on-call
staff.
This request is to convert the approved on-call staff to one (1) full time code enforcement
specialist position to manage the increasing volume of complaints and cases, including
providing services to the City of Sisters. In addition, CDD was not successful in hiring an
on-call staff for several reasons.
CDD currently employs three (3) code enforcement specialists responsible for
investigating complaints and, resolving code violations for land use, onsite wastewater
disposal, building, and solid waste codes (by contract with the Solid Waste Department).
In addition, the department has one part-time volunteer who reviews Temporary Use
Permits for compliance with conditional use decisions, including medical hardships,
removal of manufactured homes for storage permits, and living in RVs.
CDD also provides solid waste code enforcement services to the City of La Pine through
an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA), and is in discussions with Sisters to provide
similar services.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The total cost of the new position would be an estimated $90,500. CDD has a work station,
computer, equipment and a shared vehicle for this position.
Adding this FTE and eliminating the use of on-call staff will increase expenditures in our code
enforcement division by an estimated $57,000. CDD's current budgeted revenues are
anticipated to cover the cost of this position. Additionally, if City of Sisters contracts for limited
code enforcement services, revenues received would offset the cost of staffing.
