LCity,/ <br />Louisville <br />COLORADO • SINCE 1878 <br />SUBJECT: <br />DATE: <br />PRESENTED BY: <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />AGENDA ITEM 4A <br />APPROVAL OF BUILDING SAFETY DIVISION PROFESSIONAL <br />SERVICES BUDGET REQUEST FOR MARSHALL FIRE <br />REBUILD SERVICES <br />J U LY 30, 2024 <br />ROB ZUCCARO, AICP, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br />DIRECTOR <br />SUMMARY: <br />Staff is seeking Council concurrence of a $200,000 budget amendment to cover City <br />consultant costs related to administering building permits for the Marshall Fire. This would <br />increase the budget from $200,000 to $400,000. The 2024 budget assumed that the <br />volume of inspections and plan review services that were needed to be covered by the <br />City's on -call consultants would level out and begin to decrease significantly in 2024 as <br />the Marshall Fire rebuild efforts continued to evolve. In 2023, the City budgeted $336,347 <br />for Building Division consultant services and spent $200,441. <br />In the current phase of Marshall Fire rebuilding, the City is needing to accommodate a <br />significantly higher number of building inspections than was originally anticipated and has <br />expended the full 2024 budget. City inspectors can accommodate about 60 inspections <br />per day. When more inspections than that are called in, the City uses an on -call <br />consultant to help with those inspections. The consultants also help cover when <br />inspectors have vacation or training scheduled. This ensures next -day inspection <br />services, which are critical to help the rebuilding effort run smoothly and without delay. <br />Without the supplemental consultant services, inspections would be backlogged and <br />need to be scheduled several days out from when the requests are made. <br />Inspections on Marshall Fire Rebuild Permits py Montn <br />E <br />1400 <br />1200 <br />1120 <br />1075 <br />1000 954 <br />973 99'. <br />877 892 <br />1814 1820 836 12202. <br />8Co800 <br />600 <br />400 <br />73 200 1Jun N12±...11sIiiUIIIIIIJlIH <br />au9 2022 0<.2022 au9 202i Oa2023 Dac N23 _ Sep 2022 Nw 2022 3 Sep 202i Nw 20)3 Ian 20:.: !.ar 202d Mry 2:=' <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />3 <br />
