INTERDEPART'MENTAL MEMORANDUM
February 26, 1999
To: Joe Reid, Budget D'uector
Dede Demko, Budget Analyst
Fr: Robert Kessler, LIEP Director ��
Re: 1999 Budget Amendment--One Additionai FI'E
As you know construction activity in the City continues at a record pace. 1998 was the third record
yeaz in a row with double digit increases in the number of pernuts, inspections, valuations, and
revenues. Until recently, LIEP staff have been able to handle the increased work load through
efficiencies, working smarter, and the use of a number of part time and temporary inspectors.
However, it is no longer possible for us to keep pace with the increase in the number of permits and
inspections without the addition of another buiiding inspector, and we are seeking your approval to
add one FTE.
We are not seeking the addition of any other trade inspectors at this time because we are working
with the Business Review Council to restructure the furnace inspection process (reducing the required
three or four sepazate pernuts and inspections) to free up inspection time far work on other gas and
wann air permits for more complicated jobs. By creating a single permit for new or replacement gas
forced air furnaces we can reduce the number of annual inspections from 1,000 up to as many as
1,800, and save the homeowner more than $40.00 in fees, and reduce the number of inspections that
have to be scheduled for the same address. The details of this proposal still have to be worked out,
but we are optimistic that we will be able to reach agreement with the affected unions and industry
representatives in the next two months.
We aze also asking for pernussion to utilize an F'I'E from gambling enforcement in plan review to
assist the plan review staff to keep pace with the workload. We identified this change in my
December 23, 1998, memorandum (attached) which proposed a Streamlined Drganizational
Structure for LIEP. We ask to use Sheila Reed's vacant FTE in the Gambling Special Fund Number
167, and fill it at a lower rate by hirfng a Plan Reviewer I in the License and Pernut Special Fund
Number 320. We aze not using gambling funds for this change since gambling revenues are restricted
to support gambling enforcement only. An ordinance to repeal the increase in the charitable
gambling tas from 2.5% to 3% which is scheduled to take effect in 1999 is also attached.
I have attached several documents, including a budget amendment, in support of these requests.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM
December 23, 1998
To: Tom Fabel, Deputy Mayor
Joe Reid, Director of Financial Services
Dede Demko, Budget Analyst
Fr: Robert Kessler, LIEP Director �
Re: Streamlined Organizationai Structure for LIEP
I am pleased to submit, for your review and comment, the proposed streamlined organizational
structure for the Office of License, Tnspections and Environmental Protection that was promised
in our 1998 and 1999 proposed budgets. The structure recommended is the result of many weeks
of work by LIEP's senior managers, with the excellent assistance of Steve Cvinar from Human
Resources.
The stimulus, and guiding principal for the new structure, is our desire to become a fully "unified
customer oriented organization". With the approaching relirement of 7anet Odalen at the end of
1998, Gary Pechmann in the spring of 1999, and the creation of the project facilitator position,
we saw an opportunity to reduce the number of "divisions" in the office from three to two, and to
reallocate resources to better support our customer service objectives. Our proposal utilizes the
same number of FI'E's, but fills two high salary F'I'E's at a lower levels, consistent with the
Mayor's goals of efficiency and cost savings in our operations.
As you know we aze wrapping up the third straight yeaz of record construction activity, with total
valuation exceeding a half a billion dollars for the first time in City history. In addition, our
pernut and license related revenue is expected to exceed our projections by more than $500,000.
We have addressed the increased inspectional workload in the shoft term through the addition of
temporary trade inspectors. But we will be seeking approval for an additional building inspector
in January, 1999. However we want to keep the request for another building inspector sepazate
from the changes in the organizational structure. The request for the buiiding inspecrtor is work
load driven, while the organizational changes, presented here, are intended to both addreess
workload issues and improve service and efficiency in the long term with our present
complement of personnel.
We aze anxious to begin the implementation, but seek your concurrence before we start. Besides
the approval of the actual organizational structure, we will also be seeking approval of a budget
amendment which will change and consolidate budget activities for the Office, while reducing
our bottom up to aproximately $35,500 (see numbers 6 and 7 below). The most salient changes
illustrated in the attached charts include:
Tom Fabel and Joe Reid
December 23, 1998 ctct_ly�
Page 2
1. The elimination of one of the three deputy directors and the consolidation of all field
inspection responsibilities under the Building Code Officer
2. The "optimal" positioning of the project facilitator to allow her to act as the single
point of contact for high profile and/or controversial projects
3. The creation of a quasi-independent hearing officer to conduct informal hearings on
problem restaurants, dangerous dogs, problem telephones, etc.
4. The utilization of the gambling accountant to support the whole office in the azea of
budgeting and purchasing.
5. The reassignment of resources from gambling enforcement to plan review to meet the
sia ificantly increased work load for general construction and heritage preservation plan
review and approval
6. Filiing of Gary Pechman's FI'E with a Environmental Health Specialist, at an
approximate cost savings of $19,000.
7. Filling of Janet Odalen's FTE with the Charitable Gambling accountant for an
approximate savings of $2,500, and in turn filiing the gambling accountanYs position
with a plan review technician for an additional savings of up to $14,000 thereby
producing total savings of $16,500.
I�i conclusion we are seeking your approval to begin immediately to implement the new
organizational structure. Please let me know if you have any quesfions regarding this proposal.

CITY OF SA1NT PAiIL
INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 6, 1998
TO: John Conway
Senior Building Inspector
FROM: Greg Johnson
RE: Projected Building Inspection Manpower Requirements for 1999
Summation:
The attached calculations establash the need to staffthe building inspection section with at least 9
and nearly 10 field inspectors if we aze to keep up with the continuing rise in pernut volume. In
fact, I have calculated that even with no rise in permit volume from the anticipated 1998 end of
yeaz total, our field staffing level should be at least 9 inspectors. Obviously this report again
does not reflect the sigmficant administrative and supervisory work load of the Senior Building
Inspector. t�lso once again, this report does not evaluate the building inspector assigned to the
vacant building program since it `stands alone'.
Methodology:
There was a necessity for reasons of timeliness to `fill in the blanks' and estimate the permit
volume for November and December of 1998 in order to project the year end total of building
and stucco permits issued for the yeaz. This was achieved by establishing what percentage of
total yearly permits were issued after October 31 for the yeazs of 1994 through 1997. Those
percentages were then averaged and that average percentage mcrease used to project a 1998 yeaz
end total issuance of 9,044 permits based upon the 8,021 permits already issued through October
of this yeaz.
The seven yeaz average of 2.92 inspections per pernut is for 1990 through 1996. Figures for 1997
and 1998 were not available due to computer system failutes.
Projected 1999 pernut issuance was derived by calculating the average increase in permit volume
for the past eight yeazs and inflating the anticipated 1998 yeaz end total by that eight year
average. It should be noted that these yeaz to yeaz percentage do show a significant range.
Due to the range of yeaz to yeaz percentage changes in pernut issuance, 1999 projected
inspections were calculated with both an average increase in permit volume and no increase from
14981evels.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM

To: Joe Reid, Budget Director
Dede Demko, Budget Analyst
Fr: Robert Kessler, LIEP Director �
Re: 1999 Budget Amendment--Additional Information
This is in resgonse to your inquiry regarding the addition of an inspector and a p]an reviewer to the
1999 �P Budget. As I pointed out in my eazlier memorandum the request is needed because of the
increase in construction activity in the City. 1998 was the third record yeaz in a row with double digit
increases in the number of permits, inspections, valuations, and revenues. It would be reasonable to
expect a commensurant reduction in L1EP's staff complement when the pace of construction activity
slows signifiucantly. However, as you know, some lazge construction projects go on for several
years, so inspections continue, while overall constriuction activity may be slowed. Therefore it may
be difficult to pin point the exact time when reductions can and should be made.
At any rate, I certainly agree that workload dictates the number of staff needed, and LIEP has
demonstrated our commitment to maintaning a lean and efficient staff in the past, and we will
continue to do so in the future if and when construction activity slows significantly.
Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this matter.

INTERDEPART'MENTAL MEMORANDUM
February 26, 1999
To: Joe Reid, Budget D'uector
Dede Demko, Budget Analyst
Fr: Robert Kessler, LIEP Director ��
Re: 1999 Budget Amendment--One Additionai FI'E
As you know construction activity in the City continues at a record pace. 1998 was the third record
yeaz in a row with double digit increases in the number of pernuts, inspections, valuations, and
revenues. Until recently, LIEP staff have been able to handle the increased work load through
efficiencies, working smarter, and the use of a number of part time and temporary inspectors.
However, it is no longer possible for us to keep pace with the increase in the number of permits and
inspections without the addition of another buiiding inspector, and we are seeking your approval to
add one FTE.
We are not seeking the addition of any other trade inspectors at this time because we are working
with the Business Review Council to restructure the furnace inspection process (reducing the required
three or four sepazate pernuts and inspections) to free up inspection time far work on other gas and
wann air permits for more complicated jobs. By creating a single permit for new or replacement gas
forced air furnaces we can reduce the number of annual inspections from 1,000 up to as many as
1,800, and save the homeowner more than $40.00 in fees, and reduce the number of inspections that
have to be scheduled for the same address. The details of this proposal still have to be worked out,
but we are optimistic that we will be able to reach agreement with the affected unions and industry
representatives in the next two months.
We aze also asking for pernussion to utilize an F'I'E from gambling enforcement in plan review to
assist the plan review staff to keep pace with the workload. We identified this change in my
December 23, 1998, memorandum (attached) which proposed a Streamlined Drganizational
Structure for LIEP. We ask to use Sheila Reed's vacant FTE in the Gambling Special Fund Number
167, and fill it at a lower rate by hirfng a Plan Reviewer I in the License and Pernut Special Fund
Number 320. We aze not using gambling funds for this change since gambling revenues are restricted
to support gambling enforcement only. An ordinance to repeal the increase in the charitable
gambling tas from 2.5% to 3% which is scheduled to take effect in 1999 is also attached.
I have attached several documents, including a budget amendment, in support of these requests.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

Dede Demko, Budget Analyst
Fr: Robert Kessler, LIEP Director �
Re: Streamlined Organizationai Structure for LIEP
I am pleased to submit, for your review and comment, the proposed streamlined organizational
structure for the Office of License, Tnspections and Environmental Protection that was promised
in our 1998 and 1999 proposed budgets. The structure recommended is the result of many weeks
of work by LIEP's senior managers, with the excellent assistance of Steve Cvinar from Human
Resources.
The stimulus, and guiding principal for the new structure, is our desire to become a fully "unified
customer oriented organization". With the approaching relirement of 7anet Odalen at the end of
1998, Gary Pechmann in the spring of 1999, and the creation of the project facilitator position,
we saw an opportunity to reduce the number of "divisions" in the office from three to two, and to
reallocate resources to better support our customer service objectives. Our proposal utilizes the
same number of FI'E's, but fills two high salary F'I'E's at a lower levels, consistent with the
Mayor's goals of efficiency and cost savings in our operations.
As you know we aze wrapping up the third straight yeaz of record construction activity, with total
valuation exceeding a half a billion dollars for the first time in City history. In addition, our
pernut and license related revenue is expected to exceed our projections by more than $500,000.
We have addressed the increased inspectional workload in the shoft term through the addition of
temporary trade inspectors. But we will be seeking approval for an additional building inspector
in January, 1999. However we want to keep the request for another building inspector sepazate
from the changes in the organizational structure. The request for the buiiding inspecrtor is work
load driven, while the organizational changes, presented here, are intended to both addreess
workload issues and improve service and efficiency in the long term with our present
complement of personnel.
We aze anxious to begin the implementation, but seek your concurrence before we start. Besides
the approval of the actual organizational structure, we will also be seeking approval of a budget
amendment which will change and consolidate budget activities for the Office, while reducing
our bottom up to aproximately $35,500 (see numbers 6 and 7 below). The most salient changes
illustrated in the attached charts include:
Tom Fabel and Joe Reid
December 23, 1998 ctct_ly�
Page 2
1. The elimination of one of the three deputy directors and the consolidation of all field
inspection responsibilities under the Building Code Officer
2. The "optimal" positioning of the project facilitator to allow her to act as the single
point of contact for high profile and/or controversial projects
3. The creation of a quasi-independent hearing officer to conduct informal hearings on
problem restaurants, dangerous dogs, problem telephones, etc.
4. The utilization of the gambling accountant to support the whole office in the azea of
budgeting and purchasing.
5. The reassignment of resources from gambling enforcement to plan review to meet the
sia ificantly increased work load for general construction and heritage preservation plan
review and approval
6. Filiing of Gary Pechman's FI'E with a Environmental Health Specialist, at an
approximate cost savings of $19,000.
7. Filling of Janet Odalen's FTE with the Charitable Gambling accountant for an
approximate savings of $2,500, and in turn filiing the gambling accountanYs position
with a plan review technician for an additional savings of up to $14,000 thereby
producing total savings of $16,500.
I�i conclusion we are seeking your approval to begin immediately to implement the new
organizational structure. Please let me know if you have any quesfions regarding this proposal.

CITY OF SA1NT PAiIL
INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 6, 1998
TO: John Conway
Senior Building Inspector
FROM: Greg Johnson
RE: Projected Building Inspection Manpower Requirements for 1999
Summation:
The attached calculations establash the need to staffthe building inspection section with at least 9
and nearly 10 field inspectors if we aze to keep up with the continuing rise in pernut volume. In
fact, I have calculated that even with no rise in permit volume from the anticipated 1998 end of
yeaz total, our field staffing level should be at least 9 inspectors. Obviously this report again
does not reflect the sigmficant administrative and supervisory work load of the Senior Building
Inspector. t�lso once again, this report does not evaluate the building inspector assigned to the
vacant building program since it `stands alone'.
Methodology:
There was a necessity for reasons of timeliness to `fill in the blanks' and estimate the permit
volume for November and December of 1998 in order to project the year end total of building
and stucco permits issued for the yeaz. This was achieved by establishing what percentage of
total yearly permits were issued after October 31 for the yeazs of 1994 through 1997. Those
percentages were then averaged and that average percentage mcrease used to project a 1998 yeaz
end total issuance of 9,044 permits based upon the 8,021 permits already issued through October
of this yeaz.
The seven yeaz average of 2.92 inspections per pernut is for 1990 through 1996. Figures for 1997
and 1998 were not available due to computer system failutes.
Projected 1999 pernut issuance was derived by calculating the average increase in permit volume
for the past eight yeazs and inflating the anticipated 1998 yeaz end total by that eight year
average. It should be noted that these yeaz to yeaz percentage do show a significant range.
Due to the range of yeaz to yeaz percentage changes in pernut issuance, 1999 projected
inspections were calculated with both an average increase in permit volume and no increase from
14981evels.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM
March 3, 1999
To: Joe Reid, Budget Director
Dede Demko, Budget Analyst
Fr: Robert Kessler, LIEP Director �
Re: 1999 Budget Amendment--Additional Information
This is in resgonse to your inquiry regarding the addition of an inspector and a p]an reviewer to the
1999 �P Budget. As I pointed out in my eazlier memorandum the request is needed because of the
increase in construction activity in the City. 1998 was the third record yeaz in a row with double digit
increases in the number of permits, inspections, valuations, and revenues. It would be reasonable to
expect a commensurant reduction in L1EP's staff complement when the pace of construction activity
slows signifiucantly. However, as you know, some lazge construction projects go on for several
years, so inspections continue, while overall constriuction activity may be slowed. Therefore it may
be difficult to pin point the exact time when reductions can and should be made.
At any rate, I certainly agree that workload dictates the number of staff needed, and LIEP has
demonstrated our commitment to maintaning a lean and efficient staff in the past, and we will
continue to do so in the future if and when construction activity slows significantly.
Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this matter.

INTERDEPART'MENTAL MEMORANDUM
February 26, 1999
To: Joe Reid, Budget D'uector
Dede Demko, Budget Analyst
Fr: Robert Kessler, LIEP Director ��
Re: 1999 Budget Amendment--One Additionai FI'E
As you know construction activity in the City continues at a record pace. 1998 was the third record
yeaz in a row with double digit increases in the number of pernuts, inspections, valuations, and
revenues. Until recently, LIEP staff have been able to handle the increased work load through
efficiencies, working smarter, and the use of a number of part time and temporary inspectors.
However, it is no longer possible for us to keep pace with the increase in the number of permits and
inspections without the addition of another buiiding inspector, and we are seeking your approval to
add one FTE.
We are not seeking the addition of any other trade inspectors at this time because we are working
with the Business Review Council to restructure the furnace inspection process (reducing the required
three or four sepazate pernuts and inspections) to free up inspection time far work on other gas and
wann air permits for more complicated jobs. By creating a single permit for new or replacement gas
forced air furnaces we can reduce the number of annual inspections from 1,000 up to as many as
1,800, and save the homeowner more than $40.00 in fees, and reduce the number of inspections that
have to be scheduled for the same address. The details of this proposal still have to be worked out,
but we are optimistic that we will be able to reach agreement with the affected unions and industry
representatives in the next two months.
We aze also asking for pernussion to utilize an F'I'E from gambling enforcement in plan review to
assist the plan review staff to keep pace with the workload. We identified this change in my
December 23, 1998, memorandum (attached) which proposed a Streamlined Drganizational
Structure for LIEP. We ask to use Sheila Reed's vacant FTE in the Gambling Special Fund Number
167, and fill it at a lower rate by hirfng a Plan Reviewer I in the License and Pernut Special Fund
Number 320. We aze not using gambling funds for this change since gambling revenues are restricted
to support gambling enforcement only. An ordinance to repeal the increase in the charitable
gambling tas from 2.5% to 3% which is scheduled to take effect in 1999 is also attached.
I have attached several documents, including a budget amendment, in support of these requests.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

December 23, 1998
To: Tom Fabel, Deputy Mayor
Joe Reid, Director of Financial Services
Dede Demko, Budget Analyst
Fr: Robert Kessler, LIEP Director �
Re: Streamlined Organizationai Structure for LIEP
I am pleased to submit, for your review and comment, the proposed streamlined organizational
structure for the Office of License, Tnspections and Environmental Protection that was promised
in our 1998 and 1999 proposed budgets. The structure recommended is the result of many weeks
of work by LIEP's senior managers, with the excellent assistance of Steve Cvinar from Human
Resources.
The stimulus, and guiding principal for the new structure, is our desire to become a fully "unified
customer oriented organization". With the approaching relirement of 7anet Odalen at the end of
1998, Gary Pechmann in the spring of 1999, and the creation of the project facilitator position,
we saw an opportunity to reduce the number of "divisions" in the office from three to two, and to
reallocate resources to better support our customer service objectives. Our proposal utilizes the
same number of FI'E's, but fills two high salary F'I'E's at a lower levels, consistent with the
Mayor's goals of efficiency and cost savings in our operations.
As you know we aze wrapping up the third straight yeaz of record construction activity, with total
valuation exceeding a half a billion dollars for the first time in City history. In addition, our
pernut and license related revenue is expected to exceed our projections by more than $500,000.
We have addressed the increased inspectional workload in the shoft term through the addition of
temporary trade inspectors. But we will be seeking approval for an additional building inspector
in January, 1999. However we want to keep the request for another building inspector sepazate
from the changes in the organizational structure. The request for the buiiding inspecrtor is work
load driven, while the organizational changes, presented here, are intended to both addreess
workload issues and improve service and efficiency in the long term with our present
complement of personnel.
We aze anxious to begin the implementation, but seek your concurrence before we start. Besides
the approval of the actual organizational structure, we will also be seeking approval of a budget
amendment which will change and consolidate budget activities for the Office, while reducing
our bottom up to aproximately $35,500 (see numbers 6 and 7 below). The most salient changes
illustrated in the attached charts include:
Tom Fabel and Joe Reid

Page 2
1. The elimination of one of the three deputy directors and the consolidation of all field
inspection responsibilities under the Building Code Officer
2. The "optimal" positioning of the project facilitator to allow her to act as the single
point of contact for high profile and/or controversial projects
3. The creation of a quasi-independent hearing officer to conduct informal hearings on
problem restaurants, dangerous dogs, problem telephones, etc.
4. The utilization of the gambling accountant to support the whole office in the azea of
budgeting and purchasing.
5. The reassignment of resources from gambling enforcement to plan review to meet the
sia ificantly increased work load for general construction and heritage preservation plan
review and approval
6. Filiing of Gary Pechman's FI'E with a Environmental Health Specialist, at an
approximate cost savings of $19,000.
7. Filling of Janet Odalen's FTE with the Charitable Gambling accountant for an
approximate savings of $2,500, and in turn filiing the gambling accountanYs position
with a plan review technician for an additional savings of up to $14,000 thereby
producing total savings of $16,500.
I�i conclusion we are seeking your approval to begin immediately to implement the new
organizational structure. Please let me know if you have any quesfions regarding this proposal.

CITY OF SA1NT PAiIL
INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 6, 1998
TO: John Conway
Senior Building Inspector
FROM: Greg Johnson
RE: Projected Building Inspection Manpower Requirements for 1999
Summation:
The attached calculations establash the need to staffthe building inspection section with at least 9
and nearly 10 field inspectors if we aze to keep up with the continuing rise in pernut volume. In
fact, I have calculated that even with no rise in permit volume from the anticipated 1998 end of
yeaz total, our field staffing level should be at least 9 inspectors. Obviously this report again
does not reflect the sigmficant administrative and supervisory work load of the Senior Building
Inspector. t�lso once again, this report does not evaluate the building inspector assigned to the
vacant building program since it `stands alone'.
Methodology:
There was a necessity for reasons of timeliness to `fill in the blanks' and estimate the permit
volume for November and December of 1998 in order to project the year end total of building
and stucco permits issued for the yeaz. This was achieved by establishing what percentage of
total yearly permits were issued after October 31 for the yeazs of 1994 through 1997. Those
percentages were then averaged and that average percentage mcrease used to project a 1998 yeaz
end total issuance of 9,044 permits based upon the 8,021 permits already issued through October
of this yeaz.
The seven yeaz average of 2.92 inspections per pernut is for 1990 through 1996. Figures for 1997
and 1998 were not available due to computer system failutes.
Projected 1999 pernut issuance was derived by calculating the average increase in permit volume
for the past eight yeazs and inflating the anticipated 1998 yeaz end total by that eight year
average. It should be noted that these yeaz to yeaz percentage do show a significant range.
Due to the range of yeaz to yeaz percentage changes in pernut issuance, 1999 projected
inspections were calculated with both an average increase in permit volume and no increase from
14981evels.

Re: 1999 Budget Amendment--Additional Information
This is in resgonse to your inquiry regarding the addition of an inspector and a p]an reviewer to the
1999 �P Budget. As I pointed out in my eazlier memorandum the request is needed because of the
increase in construction activity in the City. 1998 was the third record yeaz in a row with double digit
increases in the number of permits, inspections, valuations, and revenues. It would be reasonable to
expect a commensurant reduction in L1EP's staff complement when the pace of construction activity
slows signifiucantly. However, as you know, some lazge construction projects go on for several
years, so inspections continue, while overall constriuction activity may be slowed. Therefore it may
be difficult to pin point the exact time when reductions can and should be made.
At any rate, I certainly agree that workload dictates the number of staff needed, and LIEP has
demonstrated our commitment to maintaning a lean and efficient staff in the past, and we will
continue to do so in the future if and when construction activity slows significantly.
Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this matter.
