2500 Planning - Supplemental Code Enforcement Assistance OptionsTO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: irallalf qice4 INCORPORATED JANUARY 24, 1957 NO. 2 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD ROLLING HILLS, CA 90274 (310) 377-1521 FAX (310) 377-7288 Agenda Item No: 10-A Mtg. Date: 07/13/15 HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILME BERS RAYMOND R. CRUZ, CITY MANAGER DISCUSSION ON SUPPLEMENTAL CODE ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE OPTIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015/16 BUDGET JULY 13, 2015 ATTACHMENTS: Email from Rolling Hills Estates Email from Los Angeles County Contractual Code Enforcement Proposals RECOMMENDATION To consider options that would supplement the City's code enforcement services. BACKGROUND During the FY 2015/16 budget preparation process, Councilmember Dieringer asked that the Finance/Budget/Audit Committee consider supplementing the City's code enforcement services by providing it assistance via the hiring of a consulting firm or independent contractor.. Although the Budget Committee recommended a full time Principal Planner to assist with code enforcement, Councilmember Dieringer believes that this position's time could be served better doing other planning activities and it would be better to keep City staff away from being in adversarial role that many code enforcement cases can lead to with residents. Although the Budget Committee did not make a recommendation on the supplemental code enforcement services proposal during its deliberations on the budget, they referred the item in order for it receive consideration at the June 8th City Council meeting when discussing the adoption of the FY 201546 Budget. The City Council 0 discussed the item at the meeting, but continued the item for any decision until its July 13, 2015 meeting. BACKGROUND The City of Rolling Hills has a long history of providing code enforcement on a complaint driven basis. City staff responds in a very resident friendly non -threatening manner where "compliance" is the objective over "enforcement". Although the City Council over a year ago appropriated funding for a part time Assistant Planner to assist the Planning Director with all the development projects in the City, unfortunately more of this position's time has been dominated with code enforcement issues. Over the last six months, the City has seen a significant rise in code enforcement complaints that helped staff justify that a full time position was needed. However, there is a concern that if this trend continues, code enforcement could possibly take the majority of this full time positions time. Another area where code enforcement assistance is needed concerns the increasing investigating of "as built" construction. This need includes having a staff member to perform spot checks on active permits for illegal as built construction or when construction is underway and the City receives inquiries about whether permits were pulled on'a construction project. Again, this problem was another reason for the need of a full time Principal Planner, but a contracted code enforcement officer could supplement this work. Mayor Pro Tem Dieringer within this request is also seeking to augment the code enforcement protocol by performing "pro active" inspections. This direction would have staff go out and do "windshield" inspections of properties to see if there are code enforcement violations without receiving a formal complaint. This would be an expansion of the City's present code enforcement practice and would definitely need an expansion of resources beyond the Principal Planner either in more staff or contract assistance. FISCAL IMPACT To augment the code enforcement program, this can be done by a part time employee (similar to what we have now), an independent contractor or by consulting firm that provides this service. Staff received a number of proposals from consulting firms that provided quotes for various options of providing code enforcement services. These quotes range between $50 and $85 an hour and are enclosed. The City that operates similar to ours is Rolling Hills Estates and they utilize a retired County employee. The City hired this employee at $29 an hour up to $30,000. Rolling Hills Estates officials indicated they have utilized all three options (employee, independent contractor and consultant firm) and found hiring an employee has worked the best. However, due to all the construction activities and increase in code enforcement cases recently, Rolling Hills Estates as part of its FY 15/16 budget will be hiring full time Code Enforcement official. 0 The City could also contract with the County of Los Angeles as part of the City's General Services Agreement. However, the City could contract with them for only full time code enforcement officers at $7,600 a month that equates to $91,200 a year. CONCLUSION Staff believes it will now have more resources to handle code enforcement cases by hiring a new full time Principal Planner. Staff however believes that if the trend continues with more code enforcement complaints and increased construction, too much of this person's time will be spent on code enforcement. Thus, it would be helpful to receive additional assistance so the Principal Planner could deal more with development projects and long range planning efforts. Furthermore, if the City Council decides it wants a proactive code enforcement program, more code enforcement resources will definitely be needed.

One of the great things about contract services is that experimentation, innovation, and fresh - perspectives on stale cases tend to help energize existing staff; and cities have the easy option of deciding if they want to continue with the new ideas or go in other directions. Oftentimes, cities will use the salary savings from vacant positions to fund 6 -month contracts with consulting firms like CSG Consultants, Inc. Hope this is helpful.
