DATE: March 27, 2008
FROM: David Garcia, City Manager .
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2008-09 Budge Balancing Plan
At the March 6th Council Workshop staff presented an overview of the fiscal status of the
City's General Fund, Development Services Fund, and Redevelopment Agency. The City
has experienced significant shortfalls in revenues due to the sub-prime housing crisis and
the overall downturn in the economy. Through budget cuts made as part of the fiscal
year 2007-08 budget along with implementation of a budget reduction plan approved by
Council on December 4 2007, $20.9 million of expenditure reductions have already been
made to the fiscal year 2008-09 budget. However, as the region's economic condition
has continued to deteriorate, City revenue projections have been scaled back even
further to reflect more conservative projections for both discretionary and programmatic
revenues. As summarized below, staff is projecting budgetary gaps in the General Fund,
Redevelopment Agency, and the newly created Development Services Fund.

($1.4 M)
($0.4 M)
Development Services Fund
$ 10.7 M
$ 12.1 M
Redevelopment Agency
$ 5.7M
$ 6.2M
It should be noted that the projected revenues for the development services fund have
been reduced by approximately $500,000 since the March 6th Budget workshop. This
reduction was based on the continued slowdown in development.

Fiscal Year 2008-09 Budget Update

"""
In order to address the projected' gap and develop a balanced budget, all departments
were asked to propose budget 'reductions andlor revenue enhancements equal to 10% of
their fiscal year 2008-09 base budgets. To the greatest extent possible, departments
were directed to focus their proposed budget reductions on:
. Reducing the nu'mber of m,anagement and support staff,
. Reducing or eliminating non-essential hourly, overtime, and service and supply
budgets,
. Reducing costs in the'. development services functions to reflect reduced
development activity and revenues, and
. Minimizing direct service impacts to the community.
The remainder of this report provides a summary of my plan for bringing expenditures in
line with revenues and balancing the City's budget. Detailed descriptions of each of the
proposed budget reductions including service impacts, performance data (where
available), and any special implementation issues can be found in the appendix to this
report.
Summary of ProposeCl Budget Balancing Plan
The proposed budget-balancing plan is comprised of 119 distinct budget reduction and
revenue enhancement proposals totaling $10.6 million (see Appendix). The plan would
result in the elimination of 39.5 permanent benefited positions in the General Fund,
Development Services Fund, and Redevelopment Agency combined. Of these, 28.5 are
currently vacant and 11.0 would potentially result in layoffs. The table below
summarizes the reductions by fund and department.

As can be seen in the table above, the largest percentage reductions in the General
Fund are recommended for Administration (11 %), Nature Center (11 %), Planning &
Building (10%), and other support departments (10%). The smallest budget reductions
are recommended for Public Works (2%) and Police (3%). These results are consistent
with the goals of reducing support costs and maintaining direct services as outlined
above.
Hourly, Overtime, and Services and Supplies Budget Reductions
As mentioned above, in preparing their budget reductions, departments were asked to
focus on reducing overtime, hourly, and services and supplies. In total, services and
supplies was reduced by $1.7 million, overtime was reduced by $1.0 million, and the
hourly budget was reduced by $0.4 million. The table below summarizes the proposed
reductions in these areas by department.

Summary of Proposed Staffing Reductions
As part of the proposed budget-balancing plan, 39.5 permanent benefited positions
would be eliminated. these reductions span all departments with the exception of
Human Resources and City Attorney. The City Clerk's Office does not have a
permanent staffing reduction but the proposed budget-balancing plan does include
freezing a position. Two additional positions in the Redevelopment Agency would also
be frozen. To follow is a summary of the proposed personnel reductions.

In addition to the elimination of 39.5 positions as listed above, there are number of
reclassifications included in the proposed budget-balancing plan. Eight of the proposed
reclassifications are downgrading positions to reflect current job responsibilities, which
results in cost savings. Various other proposed reclassifications would upgrade certain
positions in order to address operational issues resulting from the staffing reductions
included in the table above or changes in planned service delivery. All position
Page 5

Fiscal Year 2008-09 Budget Update

reclassifications proposed as a result of the budget reduction plan will be reviewed and
must be approved by Human Resources prior to implementation. Inclusion of a
reclassification proposal in this budget reduction plan will not automatically result in a
classification change. Final reclassification recommendations will be brought forward as
part of the City Manager's proposed budget.
The table below summarizes the proposed staffing reductions by bargaining unit or
employee group. The largest percentage staffing reduction by far is being proposed for
the three management groups at 8%; nearly double the next highest percentage
reductions of 4% for the Chula Vista Employees' Association (CVEA) and confidential
employees. CVEA, the largest of the City's four collective bargaining units, would
experience the largest reduction in the number of positions at 21.5. Only one sworn
public safety position would be eliminated from the Chula Vista Police Officers'
Association (POA). There are no staffing reductions proposed for the International
Association of Firefighters Local 2180 (IAFF).

Summary of Employee Suggestions Recommended for Implementation
Earlier in the year staff held two employee focus groups to solicit input on how the City
can streamline operations, become more cost efficient, and increase revenue
opportunities. Combined, the two employee groups came up with over 100 suggestions
for moving us closer to a balanced budget. These suggestions were forwarded to the
appropriate departments for further analysis and consideration earlier this month. The
proposed budget-balancing plan includes approximately $1.5 million of savings from
Page 6

ideas proposed by employees. Departments are still evaluating the remaining ideas for
reducing costs and enhancing revenues generated from the employee sessions. To
follow is a summary of the proposed budget-balancing plan proposals that incorporated
the ideas generated from the employee sessions.
. Emolovee Prooosal: Imolement one week Voluntarv Furlouah Proaram
Implementation: In fiscal year 2008-2009 employees will have the option to take
an additional week of furlough voluntarily. Estimated savings: $63,000
. Emolovee Prooosal: Reduce overtime usaae. make como time mandatorv in lieu
of overtime oav.
Implementation: The Engineering and General Services Department is proposing
to reduce overtime usage department wide by limiting overtime to emergencies
only. The Fire Department is also proposing to reduce overtime usage by
eliminating or reducing overtime for committees and non-essential training.
Estimated savings: $243,000 (Does not include savings from creating a reserve
company in the Fire Department discussed later in this report)
. Emolovee Prooosal: Freeze (vacant) Assistant Citv Manaaer
Implementation: The Assistant City Manager position will be downgraded to an
Executive Assistant to the City Manager. Estimated savings: $147,000
. Emolovee Prooosal: Flatten the oraanization and reduce number of manaaers
Implementation: The proposed budget balancing plan includes several proposals
to eliminate or downgrade management positions. The Assistant City Manager
position will be downgraded from an executive manager to a middle manager.
Combining the Nature Center with Recreation will result in the elimination of one
executive management position. The consolidation of the analyst positions from
various departments to Administration will result in the elimination of two middle
management positions, this reorganization is discussed later in this report.
Overall, an 8% reduction in the number of management staff is being proposed
as part of the budget balancing plan. This is double the percent reduction of any
other employee gourp. Estimated savings: $430,000 (excludes savings from
downgrading the Assistant City Manager position)

program for Council consideration
Early Retirement Incentive Program
In an effort to reduce personnel costs and minimize the potential for layoffs, I am
recommending a retirement incentive program that would provide two years of additional
CalPERS service credit and a limited medical incentive program to employees that retire
between May 5, 2008 and August 5, 2008. Staff is estimating that the implementation of
this program could save between $1.2 million and $2.4 million in fiscal year 2008-09
depending upon the number of eligible employees whom choose to retire. This would
provide the City with more flexibility in arriving at a final balanced budget for fiscal year
2008-09 that minimizes service impacts to the community and would potentially provide
some cushion should the economic condition worsen. The retirement incentive program
is discussed in further detail under a separate report.

Fiscal Year 2008-09 Budget Update
3/2712008
Budget Reductions ""'"
To follow is a summary of some of the more significant changes that I would like to bring
to your attention.
. Reorganizations - As part of the development of the budget reductions proposals I
asked department heads to focus on areas of the organization where we could
reorganize to create efficiencies and eliminate management positions. There are a
number of reductions that fall into this category.
o Downgrade an Assistant City Manager (ACM) to Executive Assistant to
the City Manager - This would reduce the number of Assistant City
Managers positions in the City from four in fiscal year 2006-2007 to one in
fiscal year 2008-2009. The City has operated with only 1 Assistant City
Manager since December 28, 2007 following the retirement of David Palmer.
This level of executive oversight seems to be working given the numerous
reorganizations that have been implemented to date. One area that has
suffered is the agenda process, in which the Assistant City Managers playa
key role. For this reason I am proposing to downgrade the vacant ACM
position to an Executive Assistant to the City Manager and assign this
individual the core responsibility of coordinating the agenda process for both
the City Council and Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation. This proposal
will save the City approximately $140,000 annually.
"""
o Consolidate Budget/Grant Analysts - Currently there are 11 Budget
Analyst and 2 Grants Management positions spread throughout the City's
various departments.
""'"
Page 10
1 - 10
Fiscal Year 2008-09 Budget Update
3/27/2008
This proposal would reduce the number of positions from 13 to 10 and would
consolidate these positions into two areas: 7 positions in the Office of Budget
and Analysis and 3 pOSitions in General Services and Engineering. The
analyst positions in General Services and Engineering will continue to
coordinate and administer the City's Capital Improvement Budget as well as
administration of the City's various Community Facility Districts and
infrastructure related development impact fees. The analysts moved to the
Office of Budget and Analysis will continue to provide budget development,
monitoring, and reporting services to departments on the City's operating
budget. In addition, special studies including fee analysis, cost recovery,
revenue projections, fiscal impact modeling, staffing models, and
management reviews will be coordinated out of the Budget Office. In addition
to improving the quality and consistency of analysis across departments, this
proposal will result in an annual savings of approximately $330,000.
o Combine the Nature Center and Recreation Department - This proposal
would consolidate the operation of the Chula Vista Nature Center with the
operation of 10 other facilities by the Recreation Department and allow for the
elimination of one executive management position. This proposal will save
the City $100,000 in fiscal year 2008-09.
o Reorganize the Library's Management structure - This proposal would
increase efficiency and eliminate a layer of management from branch
operations. The new organizational structure would restore public hours at
the Civic Center Branch from 52 to 64 hours per week, expand Saturday
hours at the Eastlake Branch by 2 hours, and restore the formal Literacy
Program. Combining service points and implementing centralized scheduling
would generate additional personnel services savings. Implementation of this
proposal will result in annual savings of approximately $370,000.
. Delay the hiring of the City Clerk until January 2009 - The Assistant City Clerk is
currently serving in the capacity of Interim City Clerk and the Assistant City Clerk
position has not been backfilled. Implementation of this proposal would result in one-
time salary savings of $1 05,800 in fiscal year 2008-09.
Page 11
1-11
Fiscal Year 2008-09 Budget Update
3/2712008
. Eliminate financial support for CONVIS - The City's contribution of $74,000 to
CONVIS largely funds the operation of the visitor's center at the E Street Trolley
Station. The primary customers to the visitor's center are individuals that are then
referred to local and regional attractions, resulting in little economic impact to the
City.
. Eliminate funding for the Third Avenue Property Based Business Improvement
District (PBID) - The City contributes $80,000 on annual basis to the PBID, which
encompasses an 8-block area. Major property owners in this area include the City
and the County of San Diego. The Third Avenue Village Association, through the
PBID, produces community events such as the Cinco de Mayo festival and the
Starlight Parade. These events may be impacted by a reduction in the PBID's
funding. There is a Business Improvement District in the same general area that will
continue to provide promotional activities in the area.
. Increase workers compensation deductible from $500,000 to $1,000,000 - By
increasing the City's Workers' Compensation insurance deductible, the amount the
City pays out-of-pocket on a given claim before insurance pays, from $500,000 to
$1M the City will save $140,000 in premium costs in fiscal year 2008-09. The
likelihood that a claim will exceed our current $500k deductible is slim (there have
only been three claims in 30 years that have exceeded our current $500k deductible,
with only one of those exceeding the $1 M). It would only take 3 years of premium
savings to fund a single workers compensation claim in excess of $1 million.
. Eliminate the January 1, 2009 salary increase for all management employees-
The elimination of the January 2009 cost of living increase will result in the second
consecutive year where managers would not receive a cost of living salary
adjustment. Management had been scheduled to receive 4% cost of living
adjustments in January 2008 and January 2009. The combined savings realized in
fiscal year 2008-09 from eliminating these two increases is approximately $1.4
million. This savings is equivalent to approximately 14 full-time benefited employees
and has significantly helped the City avoid employee layoffs.
. Eliminate salary Increases for unclassified hourly employees - The preliminary
fiscal year 2008-09 budget included a 4% salary increase in July (delayed from
Page 12
1 -12
Fiscal Year 2008-09 Budget Update
3/2712008
January 2008) and a 4% salary increase in January 2009, scheduled to coincide with
the CVEA salary increases. The elimination of these salary increases will result in
approximately $136,000 in savings that will help avoid employee layoffs.
. Eliminate one Fire Inspector II - The elimination of this position would reduce
staffing in the Fire Prevention Division for a net savings of $42,500. This position
has been vacant since late October 2007 but the permanent elimination of this
position may result in negative impacts to customer service, technical quality, and
timeliness of service delivery.
. Increase Fire Suppression capability - Fire Prevention currently conducts fire
inspections for both new and existing businesses on an as needed basis instead of
on an annual basis as required due to staffing constraints. Under this proposal, Fire
Suppression would perform all general fire inspections while in service in the City.
This reorganized program would generate additional revenues of $263,000 on an
annual basis while significantly increasing current levels of service.
. Convert Engine Company 57 to a reserve company - The City currently operates
8 engine companies, 2 ladder companies, and one heavy rescue company. This
proposal would convert 1 of the 8 engine companies to a reserve company. The
reserve company would be available to fill vacant positions that occur in other
companies and thereby significantly reduce the Fire Department's overtime costs. If
there were no vacancies on a given day then the reserve company would be
available to staff certain engines with additional personnel. The reserve company
would also be available to respond during major events such as the recent Firestorm.
The ladder company serving at Fire Station 7 would be utilized as a "jump" company
taking either engine or truck located at Station 7 depending upon the type of call.
This proposal does not require eliminating any firefighter positions or closing a fire
station. The estimated annual savings resulting from this proposal is $740,000.
. Eliminate Battalion 52 - In fiscal year 2004-2005, the City added a second
Battalion at Fire Station 7. This proposal would take the City back to a single
Battalion located at Fire Station 1. The annual savings from this proposal is
$583,000.
Page 13
1 - 13
Fiscal Year 2008-09 Budget Update
3/2712008
. Eliminate Mobile Home Inspection Program - The elimination of the mobile home
inspection program will allow the Planning and Building department to reassign a
Code Enforcement Officer to the recently adopted Abandoned Residential Property
Registration Program. As with other jurisdictions, the State will assume the
responsibility to inspect local mobile home parks. The elimination of this program
and the reassignment of staff will result in an estimated $80,000 of additional
revenue on an annual basis.
. Reduce energy costs by turning off selected street lights on non-residential
streets - By turning off approximately 1,058 streetlights (250 watts) along areas with
minimal residential/commercial street frontage on schools, parks, or other public
gathering spaces. On streets with double hung median lights, one light would be
turned off from each pair of double hung lights on alternating sides. This would
maintain some lighting on major roadways while reducing energy costs by
approximately $150,000 on annual basis.
. Eliminate operation of Chula Vista Community Youth Center - Eliminating the
operation of the Chula Vista Community Youth Center would generate approximately
$84,422 on an annual basis. The programs displaced by the implementation of this
reduction may be accommodated at Parkway Center, Loma Verde Center, or Otay
Center all of which are located within a 2.5-mile radius of the Youth Center.
. Eliminate part-time Cultural Arts Coordinator - The elimination of this position
along with a reduction in the services and supplies budget will result in annual
savings of $108,017. The reduction in funding for this program would result in the
cancellation of the annual Taste of the Arts festival and a reduction in the 2009 Music
in the Parks series to six concerts offered every other week rather than 12 weekly
events.
Conclusion
The proposed budget reduction plan presented in this report closes the projected budget
gaps in the General Fund, Redevelopment Agency, and Development Services funds for
fiscal year 2008-09 budget. With these changes, the fiscal year 2008-09 budget is
balanced, and it reflects current economic conditions while at the same time maintaining
core city services. I would like to take a moment to recognize and thank the exceptional

employees in this organization for their input and cooperation through this process.
Together we can address the issues that lie ahead and emerge as a more efficient and
fiscally sustainable organization.

The City's $74,000 contribution represents 32% of the Office of Economic Development's non-personnel
budget. Nearly all of these funds are used to operate the visitor center at the E Street Trolley Station. The
primary customers to the visitor center are individuals that are then referred to local and regional attractions,
resulting in little economic impact to the City. The City's funds can be better leveraged on City-wide economic
development efforts that will result in a greater financial impact to the City.

PROPOSAL: 8
The PBID is funded by property owners within the specific boundaries of the District. Major property
owners include the City and the County of San Diego, as well as a large number of smaller property
owners. A reduction or elimination of the City's obligation would apply equally in reducing the
obligations of the other property owners and would require a majority vote of the property owners to
approve. While this action may result in the reduction or elimination of the PBID, there is also a
separate Business Improvement District (BID) in the same general area of the City. The BID receives
approximately $162,000 annually that will continue to be available for promotional activities in the
area.

PROPOSED REDUCTION: (Prepare a brief statement describing the propased budget reductian)
If we convert the IFAS system from its current data base of Informix to a Microsoft SQL data base, we can save
the cost of the Informix software maintenance (about $50,000) and be able to do without our Unix and Data
Base Administrator. This would mean a layoff of one person but I believe the impacts would be manageable.
SERVICE AREA DESIGNATION: (See definitions below)
@ Core
o Semi-Core
o Non-Core
JUSTIFICATION: (Provide a brief justification for the selected service area designation)
We currently have a Unix/Data Base Administrator to handle the systems work for the IFAS system. This is
necessary since the Unix operating system and the Informix data Base administration are not skills that the
remainder of my staff possess. Originally the Permits Plus system ran on the Unix system under the Informix
data base in addition to IFAS. Several years ago the Permits Plus system was converted to a SQL data base and
is working well. This conversion will probably be necessary sometime in the future since IBM purchased
Informix and it is likely that they will discontinue support in favor of their own data base, DB2.

In addition to the reduction of the $50,000 maintenance fee for Informix will come a reduction in
hardware maintenance. The current system is still under warranty, but that warranty will run out in
2008. In addition, there will be some costs involved in the conversion. Bi-tech has estimated that
their costs to assist us with the conversion would be about $50,000. In addition, we would need to
purchase some hardware and software totaling an additional $10,000. The Informix maintenance bill
is due July 1 and IBM is very difficult to deal with. It would be best to be completed with the
conversion by July 1. I would suggest using the computer replacement fund as a means to pay for the
$60,000 it would cost to implement this.

Based upon the survey that ITS conducted earlier this year we are meeting our performance goals for
GIS. Eliminating the vacant GIS Specialist position will result in approximate 30% cut in GIS related
staff during past year. Although Tom McDowell's title was Application Support Manager, he was
involved in various GIS projects and his expertise resulted in a key loss in GIS support for staff and
general public.
If the vacant GIS Specialist position is eliminated, this will certainly impact our ability to meet our goals
in the future. The following tasks will be delayed or possibly, not completed.
1. This GIS Position was responsible for updating / maintaining the Police mobile application. This is
a critical program for officers in the field and has not been updated for several months. The goal is to
do this every month so that the officers have the most up-to-date information. Because the position
is frozen, this has not been done in several months
2. New GIS layers / applications requested by staff may not be created. This is similar to the above.
The goal would be monthly updates. This would probably be reduced to every 4-5 months.
3. A number of GIS layers used by Departments on a daily basis will not be updated as frequently,
possibly resulting in out-of-date and inaccurate data. ITS survey conducted last year identified
updates to GIS layers as an area that needs improvement. Eliminating this position will further
diminish our ability to maintain this data.

We are currently gathering data for these measurements. This would be the second microcomputer
support position to be eliminated (we had an early retirement in November 2007) so the impact on
service levels if this position is eliminated would be greater than just eliminating the first position. The
incumbent is part of the computer and application support team for the Civic, South and Eastlake
libraries, the technical support is essential to the ITS Department to provide a high level of service to
city staff and the public at all facilities, the loss of this position would decrease response time to
trouble calls and problem resolutions throughout the city due ITS personnel would be reassigned from
other duties to take on the additional workload. Due to the Senior IT Support Specialist requirements
to take on additional projects other than library projects which involve firewall and webserver
configuration changes and administration this position is essential to the operation of all branches.

LINE OF BUSINESS: Risk Management Administration
PROPOSED REDUCTION: (Prepare a brief statement describing the proposed budget reduction)
By restructuring the components of some of the post-offer physical evaluations we give to potential new hires
the cost of the exams can be reduced. At the reduced level the exams will still provide us with the
information needed to evaluate whether potential new-hires can perform the essential functions of the jobs
for which they're being hired. We can further reduce the funds budgeted for physicals because of the
anticipated slow down in hiring. We are also proposing to reduce contingency funding for violence
intervention services, outside security services, and fitness for duty evaluations. Since there is no way to know
exactly what will be needed in these accounts until the need arises, we are budgeting for a low level of activity
in these areas.

JUSTIFICATION: (Provide D brief justification for the selected service DreD designDtion)
This money is used to buy stand alone first dollar policies (outside of our normal $2S0K deductible liability
insurance) to cover risks associated with City sponsored special events. By having this relatively inexpensive
coverage the City could potentially save the $2S0k in deductible plus keep the impact of a large loss away
from our other underwriting exposures. The amount remaining should cover a large event such as the
Christmas Celebration. We are making this potential reduction recommendation in anticipation of a reduced
number of City sponsored special events in light of budget constraints.

The Accountant is a key member ofthe professional finance team which assists with the preparation
of the annual audit and preparation of the City, RDA, Transit and Public Financing Authority financial
statements and the City, RDA and Transit State Controller reports. This position is currently vacant as
a result of the Early Retirement Program.
The Finance Department has earned the Government Finance Officers Association Award for
Excellence in Financial Reporting for the past 7 years. In order to meet the deadline for submission to
the GFOA, the financial statements must be completed by Dec. 31. This is an award which is viewed
very favorably by the rating agencies. The Department will continue to strive to meet the deadline but
due to the recent cuts under the professional accounting series, it will be very challenging.
The focus of the 3 remaining professional accountants will be to ensure that the City meets all legally
mandated deadlines which may result in a loss of revenues and or penalties (i.e. Statement of
Indebtedness, State Controllers Reports, W-2 filings etc). In addition, staff will also continue to focus
on meeting the City's annual disclosure requirements as required by Securities Exchange Regulations
and the City's Bond Indentures.

OTHER SERVICE IMPACTS: (Prepare a brief description of any service impacts not captured by the
above performance data)
On December 28, 2007, our Animal Control Manager, Dr. Dorothy York, took advantage of the City's
early retirement program. Dr. York was initially hired as a middle manager. Her classification was
upgraded from middle manager to senior manager status in 2006 in recognition of her dual roles as
Animal Control Manager and Veterinarian. Best management practices and experience with ACF
management issues indicate that the veterinarian practices should be performed by a position, which
is independent of the Animal Control Manager for a variety of reasons.
First, in order for the City to continue to operate the Animal Care Facility and provide basic medical
services to the animals at the shelter, the City needs what is called a "Veterinary Premises Permit". In
order to secure such a permit, a licensed veterinarian needs to place their name and license on our
permit. Since Dr. York was a licensed veterinarian, she was on our permit. With her departure, we
learned that due to liability exposure veterinarians are not willing to place their name and license on
the permit for a municipal shelter. The State Board has confirmed that this situation is not unique to
Chula Vista, but often experienced by municipal shelters. As a solution for providing this specialized
care most shelters have elected to contract these services to a local veterinarian.
Second, scope of work performed by the Animal Control Manager (ACM) position is significant in that
it is responsible for planning, organizing, direct and supervise the Animal Control Service operations
for the City of Chula Vista and the management of contractual agreements for three contract cities of
National City, Lemon Grove and National City. An essential function of this position is the
enforcement of state and local laws relating to animal control services, which includes investigating
complaints related to animal control and providing information to the public; and supervising, training,
and evaluating staff.
This budget reduction proposal will address the mandated veterinary component of the Animal Care
Facility and State licensing requirements by outsourcing veterinary care at a cost of $163,000 which is
less expensive than retaining a full time veterinarian. It also separates the veterinarian duties from the
essential duties of the Animal Control Manager and eliminates the hourly veterinary services budget,
which was not an effective method for providing this service.
In recognition of the fiscal condition of the City we are recommending filling the Animal Control
Manger position with an Interim Manager (Animal Control Officer Supervisor). The existing interim
Manager has expressed interest and willingness to continue in this role. In addition, to backfilling this
position on an interim basis we are also proposing to back fill the Animal Control Officer position with
an hourly ACO until we are able to fill the manager position on a permanent basis. We are fortunate
to have the opportunity of having a previously employed ACO return on an hourly basis. This

Since she has been on a reduced schedule since January, we have had the opportunity to measure the
operational impacts. The part-time schedule is mutually beneficial. It addresses staffing deficiencies
on Saturdays in the Animal Care Facility (ACF) office as well asanimal control dispatch. As you may
recall during last year's budget reductions the hourly employee who dispatched on Saturdays was
eliminated from the ACF budget. The elimination of the hourly staff reduced our flexibility to provide
coverage on Saturdays impacting existing office staff rotations/assignments. Saturday is one of our
busiest days for incoming dispatch activity. We also experience a higher volume of customers
requiring office assistance with licensing, adoptions and processing of animal related requests. The
employee has agreed to provide ongoing coverage on a permanent bases on Saturdays in addition to
one and half week days for a total of 20 hours per week.

This Associate position is assigned to required General Plan Implementation duties, including
completing the General Plan Update Implementation Program and interim zoning proposals. The
position would also work with several other key city initiatives either currently underway or pending
including the Otay Valley Regional Park, Historic Preservation, growth management program
oversight, and western Chula Vista specific plans. All these activities are a fundamental part of
carrying out this City's long-range planning interests.
Since there were not specific performance metrics related to this position in the Strategic Plan,
following are the impacts to the Advance Planning work program:
- Delay in the completion of the comprehensive General Plan Update Implementation Program.
- Delay in the preparation and adoption of interim zoning provisions in those areas where zoning
inconsistencies were created when the General Plan Update was adopted.

The Citizens Academy, for both adults and juveniles, has proven to be such a popular community
outreach tool, that there is a waiting list for both academies. In these academies, citizens learn first
hand through interactive teaching demonstrations, what it is like to provide public safety to a
community of over 227,000 people. Academy students get hands on experience with firearms
training, defensive tactics, patrol pursuits (adults only), crime scene investigation, arrest and control,
and many other duties that the men and women of the Chula Vista Police Department do every day in
protecting our community. Elimination of this program will take away one of the few glimpses into
public safety that citizens are able to get and a wonderful community relations tool. Graduates often
tell us at how they're able to explain why things are done the way they are to their friends/neighbors
who might have a negative opinion of the Police Department.

This position is the Departments supply and maintenance specialist which is responsible for shipping
and receiving, office supply ordering and distribution, inventory management of all types of
equipment and supplies, and building maintenance coordination. Transitioning this position to a half
time employee will result in the move to a more decentralized ordering and distribution system, as
well as transferring various duties such as maintenance and inventory of the Patrol Equipment Room
to other positions throughout the department. This will result in further reduction in building
maintenance, and the loss of fiscal control of supplies and equipment.

While transferring this position to Operation Alliance will enhance the departments ability to
investigate drug trafficking, it will also reduce the departments ability to investigate other property
crimes. The Property Crimes unit received 9,656 cases in 2007 for review. That equates to 1073 cases
per detective. Elimination of detectives from this unit will result in increased workloads to over 1200
cases per detective. This will require the department to implement new case management procedures
where certain crimes will be reviewed but not investigated unless the case contains significant suspect

JUSTIFICATION: (Provide a brief justification far the selected service area designation)
The K-9 Officer is an essential component to the Community Patrol function. The K-9 Officer provides a less-
lethal option for officers and is essential to officer safety in a variety of situations which might otherwise put
officers in a significantly more dangerous situation. Most police departments have K-9 Officers on staff and
there is a community expectation that a modern police agency would deploy a K-9 unit as part of normal
patrol operations.

Reducing the number of K-9 Officers from S to 4 Officers will mean that there will be 40 hours less
coverage available for Commmunity Patrol. This will leave a full shift working without K-9 coverage all
week long. K-9's provide a much safer, less-lethal option for officers who find a suspect hiding in a
dangerous area, which would make apprehending the suspect significantly more risky for the officer.
Often-times, just announcing that a K-9 is being sent in will coax the suspect out of hiding without
further incident. K-9's are an effective force multiplier since without K-9, significantly more officers
would be needed to clear a building (rather than one dog).

OTHER SERVICE IMPACTS: (Prepare a brief description of any service impocts not captured by the

Elimination of the Police Report Transcriptionist will require dramatic changes in how reports are
processed. First, the department will have to consider requiring officers to no longer transcribe
reports and enter all of their own reports on-line. This will reduce the amount of time officers are able
to spend patrolling since typing a report requires significantly more time than dictation. Second, the
department will also consider only transcribing high priority reports. other reports of low priority will
not be transcribed unless the status changes in the case. This is problematic as it reduces investigators
ability to search through police reports of all kinds for linkages to seemingly unrelated crimes.

Budget Reduction Proposal Form
PROPOSAL: 83
OTHER BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS: (Provide any ather infarmation relevant to the savings that
will resultfrom implementation of this proposal)
As part of the recent City-wide budget reduction plan, the Chula Vista Fire Department's Fire
Prevention Division sustained a significant staffing reduction (18%). The positions included a Fire
Prevention Engineer and Public Safety Specialist. On October 24, 2007, a Fire Inspector II
position-assigned to Fire Safety Engineering-was vacated. This position was immediately frozen as
part of fiscal year 2007/2008 budgetary directives, which included a citywide hiring freeze. Assigned
to the Fire Safety Engineering program, this position is responsible for providing core fire and life
safety technical assistance, fire inspections and plan review services to developers, contractors,
business and property owners so they can build in compliance with Chula Vista municipal codes and
policies. This position provides critical core services, which ensures that fire and life safety conditions
are being enforced based on the City adopted California Fire Code regulation.
In 2007, several departments had fees adjusted and/or created as part of the DMG Maximus study.
This position was not predicated upon fees; however, the latest plan review and permit fees
(Maxim us) were built upon approximately $S8,157 of this position's overall cost. With a personnel
cost of $94,309, the preliminary base savings would be $36,lS2. The department will be reducing
revenue by $51,814 as a result of the elimination of this position.
The elimination of this position is not recommended in light of the department's proposed engine
company inspection program. Please see reduction proposal number 4.
SERVICE IMPACTS:
OTHER SERVICE IMPACTS: (Prepare a brief description of any service impacts not captured by the
above performance data)
The service impacts from eliminating the Fire Inspector II position are detrimental to the level and
manner of services the Division provides. The safety of the citizens and visitors of Chula Vista, the
safety of emergency responders, may be compromised due to not having an additional position to
perform inspection tasks. Without this Fire Inspector II position, all other members of the Division will
be tasked with a significant amount of additional work. This will result in negative impacts to
customer service, technical quality, timeliness and public safety as outlined below.
- Fire Prevention customer service will slow the building permit process in Chula Vista; delayed
construction operations and completion schedules will adversely affect City revenue.
- Life safety plan reviews and inspections are a part of the critical path schedule for any successful new
construction process. When developers, builders and businesses do not receive timely customer
service to build and operate in Chula Vista, they may take their business to other areas of the county,
resulting in lost revenue for the City and a reduction in quality of life for Chula Vista residents.
- Decreased customer service may result in less qualified life safety system sub-contractors refusing to
work in Chula Vista. Therefore the top of the line contractors may not be the ones installing life safety
systems in the city. The low quality work further delays construction completion dates, increases the
number of re-inspections, compromises life safety, and puts businesses, citizens and visitors at risk.

PROPOSAL: 83
- With additional plan review and inspection workloads distributed to existing personnel, Prevention
Division staff will miss any remaining opportunities to provide public education and community
awareness. Additionally, the 2008 Fire Department's Annual Open House has been cancelled due to a
lack of funding and staffing. Without essential public education, the Chula Vista Fire Department will
experience increased emergency calls for preventable accidents involving our youngest residents, and
a future generation that is untrained in basic fire and life safety principles.
- Without the Fire Inspector II, the City of Chula Vista loses certified high-level capability in
determining the origin and cause of fires and in identifying dangerous conditions and/or people that
result in life and property loss.
The Fire Inspector II is an asset to the safety and security for Chula Vista and the financial well being of
the City.

OTHER BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS: (Provide any other information relevant to the savings that
will result from implementation of this proposal)
The Fire Department operates with a yearly supplies and services budget of $2.131 million. However,
69% of this budgeted amount is allocated to items that include: contractual obligations for hazardous
incident response, communications contract, fleet maintenance, equipment replacement, software
licenses and cellular phone service. Therefore, only $656k or 31% of the supplies and services budget
is available for reduction. The department is proposing a reduction of $115,664 to the available
portion of the supplies and services budget. The major areas that will be impacted are as follows:
- Training: A $23.4k reduction or 18.3% reduction in the departmental training budget.
- Wearing Apparel: A $44.7k or 20.0% reduction in wearing apparel
- Facility and Equipment Maintenance: An $11.3k or 15.0% reduction in departmental facility and
equipment maintenance.
Combined, the reductions in these areas account for $79.5k or 68.8% of the total proposed reduction
of supplies and services. The balance of the reductions have been allocated to other accounts within
the department's budget.

SPECIAL ISSUES: (Prepare a brief description of any special circumstances related to implementing
this proposal)
If approved this proposal will significantly reduce the department's ability to maintain facilities and
equipment. The Fire department currently operates nine fire stations, a warehouse and a training
facility that total approximately 65,000 sq. ft. The fire department will have an allocation of $.67 jsq.
ft. available to address the minimum facility maintenance needs if the proposed reductions are
approved. Therefore, minimal facility maintenance efforts will be undertaken resulting in an increased
deterioration rate offacility conditions. The Fire Department operates and equips a front-line fleet
that includes 8 engines 2 ladder trucks and an Urban Search Heavy Rescue vehicle. The department is
also responsible for equipping 5 reserve engines one reserve ladder-truck and a brush rig. The
replacement value of this equipment is estimated to be $10.3 million. The department will have
available an allocation of 0.2% of the estimated replacement value to equip its fleet of engines, ladder
trucks, heavy rescue and brush rig.

The fire department will actively manage overtime usage by eliminating various activities and
adopting more aggressive management practices to control overtime expenditures. The department
will drastically reduce or completely eliminate overtime for committees and non-essential training.
The department is projecting that these savings can be achieved based on previous trends analyzed.
Overtime expenditures may exceed budgeted levels if higher than usual levels of overtime are needed
to cover for sick, vacation and injury leave. The department will attempt to achieve these savings in
addition to $141k reduction overtime expenses that was aHocated in the FY08-09 baseline budget.

The curtailment of overtime expenditures may adversely affect the fire department's ability to
coordinate daily operations. The department will reduce daily officer meetings/briefings as part of
this savings strategy. This will result in loss of communication of daily operational updates that
include injury reports, safety notices, road closures, equipment status and major incident
reporting/updates. Historically the department has used committees to perform support functions
such as operational research to formulate recommendations with regard to: safety equipment,
firefighting tools, pre-incident planning, apparatus, standard operating guidelines and policies. The
curtailment of committees will reduce the department's ability to address operational issues in these
areas.

PROPOSAL: 86
OTHER BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS: (Provide any other information relevant to the savings that
will result from implementation af this proposal)
This is a revenue enhancement proposal. Currently approximately 80% of the new businesses and
existing businesses are not being inspected due to the staffing level of the Fire Prevention Division's
Fire Code Inspection program. The proposed reorganization would shift the remaining fire and life
safety inspections, to the engine, truck and rescue companies ensuring that the both new and existing
businesses received their annual fire and life safety inspections. The purpose of Fire Code Inspection
program is to provide fire and life safety services to the business communities so they are brought into
compliance with the adopted California Fire Code. This reorganized program would generate new
revenue to the City of Chula Vista while increasing current Fire Prevention levels of service.
The Fire Code Inspection section has been conducting fire inspections-for both new businesses and
existing businesses-on an as-needed basis, instead of on an annual basis as required. Due to
decreased staffing levels, staff resources were dedicated instead to inspecting the high-hazard
occupancies that fall within the annual Permit Inspection Program.
Under the reorganization, suppression personnel would perform all general fire inspections while in
service in the city. Due to the complexity and quantity of fire inspections required in Chula Vista,
selected experienced Fire Prevention personnel would need to provide support in the form of training,
management and organization. Additionally, trained Prevention personnel would assist with the
more technical license inspections as needed.
An additional $15,000 is allocated to this request in order to fund the career advancement increases
for three fire inspector I positions to fire inspector II in order to not impact the General Fund. These
three positions will be assigned additional administrative oversight and training responsibilities related
to this project.
SERVICE IMPACTS:

OTHER SERVICE IMPACTS: (Prepare a brief description of any service impacts not captured by the

A temporary program for receiving fees for fire and life safety inspections, etc. was developed when
the Finance Department stopped collecting fees for the Fire Department. This accounting and
invoicing service, would be required to be supported by the City allowing the Fire Department's
current records management system (Firehouse) to be upgraded by adding a new module for the
purpose of electronic billing management. Increasing the number of businesses receiving invoices for
fire and life safety inspections from approximately 600 to over 3,500 will have to be managed by the
department's current administrative staff.

company inspection program will encompass training, organization and development of new business
models to achieve the expected results. With over 3,500 businesses within the City of Chula Vista,
engine/truck companies will visit each one within a year and possibly return on re-inspections for
approximately 50% of the initial inspections conducted. This will require a commitment of time from
the Fire Prevention Division personnel to ensure success of this program.

OTHER BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS: (Provide any other information relevant to the savings that

This proposal would designate the nine positions that currently staff engine 57 at fire station 7 as
supplemental staffing by eliminating engine 57 from continuous service. These nine positions would
be used to backfill for vacancies that would occur at other fire stations within the fire department.
This would result in overtime savings that would occur from not having to pay overtime to backfill for
vacancies due to leave. The elimination of engine 57 from continuous service will result in decreased
fire service coverage for the eastern territories and will result in increased response times for the
citizens who reside in that section of the community. Station 7 would continue to operate with a
"jump company" that would staff either the truck or the engine assigned to station 7's coverage.
Increased fire risk to the community would also result from not having the fire truck available on a
continuous basis as a result of having the jump crew responsible for operating two response vehicles
but not being able to operate both vehicles simultaneously as is currently done.

OTHER SERVICE IMPACTS: (Prepare a brief descriptian of any service impacts not captured by the
above performance data)
Chula Vista Fire Station 7 currently operates with one fire engine and one fire truck company. These
two fire companies are in service 24hrs a day. An engine company is a group of firefighters (3)
assigned to a fire department pumping apparatus. They are responsible primarily for providing water
supply and attack lines for fire extinguishment. A ladder company (also referred to as a truck
company) is a group of firefighters (4) assigned to a fire department aerial apparatus. They are
primarily responsible for providing search and rescue, ventilation, salvage and overhaul, forcible entry,
and other fireground support functions.
The elimination of the fire engine company at Fire Station 7 would reduce the Fire Department's fire-
fighting staff by nine positions. Under this scenario, a "jump" fire company would be created as the 4
person staffed truck company would operate both the fire engine and the fire truck as needed to
respond for calls for service. This will result in the elimination of the availability of one emergency
response resource when the other resource is: responding to a call for service, is out of the station
due to vehicle fueling or repair, training, performing pre-fire planning, exercising, conducting public
education or fire inspections. For example, not having a dedicated ladder company respond on all
building fires as part of a first alarm assignment necessitates that the engine company personnel not
only carry out their engine company functions (such as advancing hose lines, cutting off
fire extension, extinguishing the fire, etc.), but they must also carry out the truck company functions
(such as search and rescue, ventilation, ladder operations, utility control, etc.). If the ladder truck
does not arrive at the scene in a timely manner, the benefit of its use is seriously compromised. It is
also important to remember that the functions performed by a truck company and the ladders and
equipment carried on the ladder truck are needed on every building fire, not just taller buildings.
Community Impacts:
There will be one less first responding unit available to serve the community. All residents will be
affected with potential increased response times. However, the residents of the eastern territories
will be impacted to a larger extent because the proposed staffing decrease will affect Station 7 that is
located in the eastern section of the City. This section of the city has experienced the majority of the
growth in recent years and currently contains significant areas of public assembly that include: a major
shopping center, multi-theater complex, numerous schools, Olympic Training Center and the Coors
Amphitheater. This region is expected to continue growing as planned projects such as the Eastern ~

Urban Center and the University come on line. The opening of SR125 has also increased more
emergency calls for service that will also be impacted. The impacts that are associated with this
proposal are as follows:
Reduced fire fighting capability for: residential and commercial structure fires, vehicle fires, and
wildland fires.
Reduced capacity to mitigate large incidents and emergencies such as: terrorist threats, natural
disasters, aviation emergencies and conflagrations.
Reduced ability to provide emergency medical services for: heart attacks, strokes, diabetic
emergencies, seizures, child drowning, victims of violence, fall victims, trapped victims, broken limbs,
non-breathers, and trauma victims.
Significant geographic areas will be left unprotected that will negatively impact large numbers of
citizens.
Reducing staff will negatively affect the GMOC fire response standard. Fire department staffing levels
will revert to 2005 fire suppression staffing levels, where 76% of the priority 1 calls for service were
responded to within the 7 minute standard for 80% of the priority 1 emergency calls. Response times
will also increase, as second and third calls for service will take longer to respond to due to one less
unit being available for coverage.
During multi-alarm assignments, the amount of coverage for the City will be diminished. This will
result in increased risk to community safety.

IMPLEMENTATION:

SPECIAL ISSUES: (Prepare a brief description of any special circumstances related to implementing

Operational Impacts:
Fire ground staffing will take longer to assemble, as the necessary number of firefighters (effective fire
force) will take longer to establish at scene. The effective fire force is comprised of at least 14
personnel assembled at a scene in order to conduct fire suppression operations. Longer assembly
times will result in a safety hazard for the public and suppression personnel. In addition, the ability to
begin fire fighting activities will be hampered and delayed. This will be further exacerbated by the
potential unavailability of a fire truck company when it is most needed.
Longer assembly times for emergency personnel will also result in:
Increased fire loss and damage to property due to fire doubling in size during the 8 minute to 16
minute time interval.
Reduced ability to perform rescues in situations including: trench collapse, confined space
emergencies and structure fires.
Reduced ability to save trauma victims within their "golden hour" of survivability.
The implementation ofthis proposal is not recommended due to the severe impact to the public and
the expectation that it will receive emergency response services on a timely basis.

OTHER SERVICE IMPACTS: (Prepare a brief descriptian af any service impacts not captured by the

The battalion chief position is a duel role position within the fire department that functions as first
responder and manager within the Fire Department. As a first responder, the battalion chief performs
critical incident command functions at all fire and major emergency response incidents that occur
throughout the city. These incident command functions are usually undertaken in critical high
pressure situations. Under these conditions the battalion chief is responsible for developing
strategies that can be transformed quickly into tactical operations by fire and rescue crews. The
performance of incident command functions allows firefighting companies to quickly undertake
firefighting and life-saving procedures with full staffing resources. This results in much improved
outcomes for fire and major emergency incidents as opportunities to save lives and property increase.
Battalion Chiefs are specialized human resources who are trained, developed and prepared to mitigate
emergencies at the strategic level. The Battalion Chiefs plan strategically and coordinate tactical
resources by thinking and reacting three, four, and five steps ahead of the emergency in order to
minimize loss of life, damage to the environment and unnecessary property loss. It is dangerous to
assume that Incident Command functions can be undertaken by Fire Captains who primarily operate
at the tactical level. It is also a false premiss that all Fire Captains can be trained to function beyond
their standard response level and capabilities and to perform at the strategic level required of the
Battalion Chiefs. Requiring Incident Commanders who are not fully capable of performing critical
Command and Control functions leads to a situation of unacceptable risk of tragedy for our citizens
and for our responding emergency personnel.
It is not reasonable to assume that the coverage gap created by eliminating a Battalion and the
Battalion Chief functions can be consistently or adequately accomplished through requiring a 40-hour
Deputy Chief to fill the coverage gap created. The Deputy Chief is assigned to perform administrative
and support functions designed toward accomplishing our overall mission. The Deputy Chief is an
administrative position and should not be considered as both line and staff. This is not a post position
that requires back-filling in the event when leave is taken. The Deputy Chief carries out duties through
normal business hours and is often in meetings that do not facilitate being "on call" 7/24/365 to
assume Battalion Chief roles during emergencies. In addition to having work responsibilities that
require attention after their work day is complete, the Deputy Chief is frequently out of the City
attending intra-jurisdictional meetings which, depending on their location at the time of the
emergency, may disallow them from being available to respond in place of the line Battalion Chief. A
40hr Deputy Fire Chief will not be available to cover the 16 hour gap that occurs after working hours.
As a manager, the battalion chief performs key tasks such as supervision of fire companies and
training in order to maintain the readiness of fire crews. Battalion chiefs also manage and supervise

major departmental operations that include: Hazardous Materials Incident Response, Facilities,
Equipment, Pre-Incident Planning and the Advanced Life Support Program. The fire department
operates two battalions that are staffed on a 24hr basis. Each battalion chief is responsible for the
crews that are assigned to his section of the City. Battalions are assigned to cover the western and
eastern portions of the city.
Another key task performed by battalion chiefs during emergencies is the task of providing staffing of
apparatus and equipment coverage in the exposed geographic areas of the city caused by the
emergency. This staffing task must take place during incidents such as residential structure fires and
larger incidents such as natural disasters. Eliminating a Battalion from the response network will not
only negatively impact the successful staffing of needed resources it will also result in decreasing the
number of battalion chiefs available to be called back in the event of a major emergency incident to
staff critical incident command operational positions.
The elimination of the second battalion will result in the loss of battalion coverage for half of the city.
This will result in longer response times for all fire calls for service and will impact major incidents
such as Firestorm 2007 where the need for incident command is most important for managing
emergency personnel. For example, the fire department will not have the staffing depth to assign
Battalion Chief coverage for the communications center, city Emergency Operations Center (EOC),
liaison at the county EOC, or at the incident command post to form unified command.

This proposed recommendation is to turn off 1,058 streetlights (250 watts) along areas with minimal
residential/commercial street frontage with little or no schools, parks, or other public gathering spaces.
On streets with double hung median lights (double mast arms), one light would be turned off from each pair of
double hung lights on alternating sides. This would maintain some lighting on these major roadways while still
reducing our electricity usage. Provided below is a list of potential sites where this would work best.

JUSTIFICATION: (Provide a brief justification for the selected service area designation)
As part of a crew, this position assists in removing trash, debris and other pollutants from lined & unlined
storm channels and inlets & outlets to channels that cannot be reached by equipment; and assists with debris
and trash picked up by equipment from staging areas where larger storm channels, basins and retention areas
are maintained by contractors. This work is done to help the City to remain in compliance with the newly
adopted NPDES permit. Non-compliance of new NPDES permit could result in fines of up to $25,000 per day
and third-party lawsuits.
As required by the permit, high volume trash facilities, inspections and removal of accumulated trash and
debris are required to be conducted between May 1st and September 30th each year. In addition, as-needed
maintenance is also required to be conducted throughout the year for the remaining storm system. Inlet
filters and storm water treatment facilities not maintained/cleaned in a timely manner will result in trash and
pollutants reaching San Diego Bay thereby reducing bay water quality resulting in non-compliance of the
permit.

Elimination of contract services will allow our permanent professional staff to assume full reponsibility
for entitlement processing for the Eastern Urban Center SPA and any Bayfront development. It will
eliminate some redundancy in functions and will further flatten the organization. Using in-house staff
increases our revenue projections. Our managers are fully trained and prepared to step into these
project management roles at this point in our organizational restructuring and their professional
development.

pick up this additional work, thereby reducing their available time for staff management. The negative
impact of this proposal is that we shift management at the very conclusion of a two year entitlement
process. We have no excess staffing capacity to handle the expected new entitlements on the horizon
as a result of the pending University Land Deal. It will be extremely challenging to make this trade-off
mid-project and to ramp up for those major projects now that our Development Services capacity has
been fully consumed.

PROPOSAL: 114
OTHER BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS: (Provide any other information relevant to the savings that
will result from implementation of this proposal)
Addition of Development Services Counter Manager (1 FTE) - $121,402.
Reclasification of Development Services Technician II to III (2 FTE) - $14,775.
Without this reclassication, Planning, Building and Engineering would revert to the previous structure
of having a supervisor for each discipline at the counter, a less efficient arrangement.
Projected additional expenditures are partially offset by a staffing reduction submitted by Planning &
Building in their proposal #1S, which recommends the elimination of a Code Enforcement Technician.
Net impact of Proposals #13 and #15 is $59,741.

SPECIAL ISSUES: (Prepare a brief description of any special circumstances related to implementing

Having a single counter manager has been the goal since before the unified counter was opened
February,2007. In June 2007, Human Resources added the Development Services Counter Manager
position to the list of City job classifications. The incumbent has worked out-of-c1ass in this position
for 15 months, as have the code enforcement staff that backfilled positions after his transfer to the
counter.
This proposal is only recommended in conjunction with Planning & Building Proposal #15.

JUSTIFICATION: (Provide a brief justification for the selected service area designation)
Due to the slowdown in development, this proposal is recommended with little or no service level reductions
unless development activity picks up. The workload decrease projected for development related activities will
be accompanied by a decrease in revenue.
Several landscaping projects are anticipated to end prior to the end of the current fiscal year. As a result, one
Landscape Inspector has been transferred to fill a vacant Open Space Inspector position. The second
Landscape Inspector will be transferred to fill another vacant Open Space Inspector position once these
projects are completed.

Senior Civil Engineer, Public Works Inspector 1/11 & two pickups
SERVICE AREA DESIGNATION: (See definitions below)
@ Core

JUSTIFICATION: (Provide a briefjustificationfor the selected service area designation)
Due to the slowdown in development, this proposal is recommended but is accompanied by a decrease in
revenue. With this cut, the section has been reduced from a total of 18.5 positions in FY2007/08 to a total of
10 positions in FY2008/09. The department does not recommend additional cuts to this group because the
Construction Inspection section will now be at a baseline minimum.
Eliminating one of the filled Senior Civil Engineer positions will mean losing one of two highly seasoned
engineers in this section. The result will mean increased responsibility and work load for the remaining staff.
Due to the slowdown in development, elimination of a Public Works Inspector with have little service level
reductions unless development and CIP's picks up.
