Russo, City Manager <br /> FROM: Minal Shah, Finance Director <br /> DATE: May 16, 2013 <br /> RE: A Budget Amendment to Fund for Additional Staffing Needs for the Building <br /> Department through the End of the Fiscal Year 2012/2013. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Staff recommends the Commission approve the attached Ordinance for first reading approving <br /> funding to increase staffing in the Building Department. <br /> REASON: <br /> The City is experiencing high volume of new construction of high-rise buildings. As of April <br /> 2013, five (5) high-rise projects have obtained building permits (Regalia, Mansions at Acqualina, <br /> One Netanya Centre, Porsche Design, Chateau Beach). By the end of fiscal year 2012-2013, it is <br /> estimated that two additional projects will have started (Solis and Jade 4). <br /> The seven (7) new high-rises will add 706 residential units and 43,000 square feet of <br /> commercial/office space to the City with estimated total construction value of$575,000,000. In <br /> addition, there is $170,000,000 in estimated construction value for other non high-rise <br /> construction. <br /> With the additional work load which is expected to last for the next three (3) years, the Building <br /> Department will need additional staffing. This budget amendment will allow the department to <br /> add an additional 5.25 FTEs. <br /> A4\- Item t7 <br /> D <br /> Date 5 Lo— i <br />
