Subject:P300 #21034 Planning Technician II positions
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
our Planners over the next couple of years.
The Planning Technician II position provides technical support to the Department's
Planners, as well as to review and make recommendations on the less complex land
development applications, thereby freeing Planners to do the more complex work. These
Planning Technicians also regularly provided assistance at our Application and Permit
Center (APC), in addition to working on simple land development applications.
The Planning Division recently lost two Planning Technicians who were reassigned to
the power plant project and to the housing section. To cover for this loss, the department
utilized the temporary upgrade process to continue planning technician services at the
APC. The Planning Technicians working at the APC work with the Building Plan
Checkers in reviewing plans and applications, issuing permits and resolving application
issues.
It is now apparent that we need to add 2 Planning Technician II positions to be able to
meet our needs and to continue to provide quality customer service at our APC. To
partially offset the costs of these 2 additional positions, the department will cancel 2
funded, vacant Clerk positions.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this request hamper the Department's ability to provide cost effective
planning services.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
