7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The Building Division of the Community Development Department has several vacancies in
building inspection, plan check, and counter support. Although multiple recruitments are currently
underway, it may take several months to fill those vacancies with qualified staff. In addition to the
staff vacancies, the City is experiencing a high volume of development activity that has increased
the number of inspection requests to near record levels. The proposed agreement will assist during
this busy period while the Building Division is not fully staffed by providing contract counter
support to maintain an adequate level of service. Staff recommends approval of proposed
agreement.
