5. DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS/REPORT:
A. Business Plan Update
Assistant Director Remp informed the Board that the Building Division is in the
midst of a comprehensive review of the overall operations of the division. A
consultant, Zucker Systems, has representatives conducting interviews within the
department and with other department heads within the City. They are getting
a sense of what is done, how it is done, and what the relationships are with the
hope of making recommendations on areas that could be improved.
Specifically, Zucker's role is to focus on potential staffing issues. The City as a
whole has experienced a tremendous amount of growth within the last year, and
growth is projected to continue for at least the next 3-5 years.
The Zucker representatives will be conducting focus groups representative of
contractors, developers, and designers to get feedback on our services. This
feedback will be incorporated into any kind of overall business plan we put
together.
Another thing the City has done is to make a commitment to the Business
Response Team. The team is made up of key individuals from each department
and primarily headed up by the Economic Development component of
Community Development. It's an outreach program that deals with how we can
attract the kind of quality projects that we want for this community.
Another item being aggressively approached is minor permit issuance at the
Eastlake office. Gordon Murdoch is heading up this venture. We want to
encourage people to get permits for water heaters, patio covers, decks, and
other minor things without having to drive ten miles to get the permit.
