RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ADDITION OF
.4 FTE CLERICAL POSITION IN THE INSPECTIONS DIVISION
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS,with the downturn in the national economy beginning in 2008/09,the negative
gap between permit fee revenues and expenditures grew to over$200,000,and property tax revenues
were used to finance this gap; and,
WHEREAS,in FY 2010/11,rather than continue this level of tax subsidy,an effort was made
to reduce expenditures by eliminating seasonal clerical hours,not budgeting or filling an authorized
Building Inspector position,temporarily reassigning the Building Inspections Supervisor to different
programs in other City departments, and utilizing the Plans Examiner to augment field inspections;
and,
WHEREAS, in the spring of 2011, permits for large scale new construction and resulting
building inspections activity have shown a significant upswing in Ames; and,
WHEREAS,based on the new projected workload,there is a need for an additional .4 FTE
Clerical position; and,
WHEREAS,the City's goal is to maintain inspection request fulfillment within 24 hours,and
this .4 FTE of clerical support for building inspections should help accomplish this goal; and,
WHEREAS, this additional .4 Clerical FTE will not increase the overall number of FTEs
already approved in the budget for FY 2011/12.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that authorization for an additional .4 FTE Clerical position beginning in FY 2011/12 is hereby
approved.
