SUBJECT:
title
Consideration of DRAFT Resolution 2016-73, A Resolution to Revise the Organizational Charts within the Building & Neighborhood Services and Information Technology Departments. (10/25/16 WS)
body
Purpose
The purpose of this memo is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning a request to amend the organizational charts of two departments to include three additional personnel.
Background
The pace of development and state regulations have forced the City to recommend three additional personnel half way through the budget year. Two (2) positions in Building & Neighborhood Services at the cost of $136,437 for one-half year. This includes one (1) Building Inspector III and one (1) Electrical Inspector (also a Building Inspector III). Continued record construction within the City of Franklin has caused strain on existing staff. To maintain appropriate service levels, we recommend the addition of both positions to the department.
The final position, one (1) position will be in Information Technology at the cost of $29,338 for one-half year. This position is for a GPS/GIS Technician, originally asked for as a Program Enhancement Request during the FY 2017 Budget Process. This position is necessary for the City’s staffing of the Tennessee One-Call System, which we are legally required to provide effective January 1, 2017.
A budget amendment, Ordinance 2016-41 contains the $165,775 for the addition of three (3) personnel. They will be offset by increases in property tax revenues, building permit revenues and a transfer from Water and Wastewater Funds.
Financial Impact
This resolution itself has no financial impact, as all being proposed here is the revision of organizational charts. The financial impact of this change is accounted for within Ordinance 2016-41, and will be $165,775 for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2017.
Recommendation
rec
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 2016-73.
