ZONING SPECIALIST DESK AUDIT \� —1 �� REQUEST'ED CLASSIFICAITON: Suilding Inspector (Carpenter, Plasterer, Lather) IlVCLJMBENT: PRESENt CLASSIFICATION: DEPART`MENT AND DIVISION: DATE OF STUDY: STI3DY CONDUCTED BY: Vacant Not Applicable - Proposed New TiUe LIEP - BIDD July I5, 1996 Michael Foley�� APPROVAL OF CLASS. AND COMP. MGR.: (Signature) SUPERVISQR'S COMMENfiS: (Date) (Jan Gasterland, City Building Official). There is a need for an inspector position with expertise as a carpenter, piasterer, or lather. The posiuon wouid be assigned a geographic region of the City and would do general building inspection but would call in experts as needed. In addition, the incumbent of this pasition would serve as an expert in hislher particular field to assist other huilding inspectors. There is enough revenue generated to fund the position. The union believes that a separate title is needed. The Mayor's Office agrees. POSITION COMPARISONS: Interviews revealed that the duties would be essentially the same as other Building Inspectors. CLASS SPECIFICATION COMPARIS4NS: The proposed class spec reflects duties that are very ciose to the duties described for the Building Inspector. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the new class of Building Inspector (Cazpenter, Plasterer, Lather) be established at the same rate of pay as the existing tifle of Building Inspector. {Note: The QES Ana3ysis suppons this.)
