o We will have difficulties in addressing underground traffic signal or <br /> street light circuit problems immediately. We may need to take on <br /> larger contract projects to address the major problem areas and <br /> safety concerns, which will lead to more delays. <br /> Item #7. The preparation of our proposal, work to compile information, review <br /> and transfer it into a balanced budget worksheet involved a tremendous amount <br /> of time. Unfortunately, the timing may not coincide with the budget review. <br /> EXPENDITURES PUBLIC WORKS -BUILDING <br /> Item # 34. We plan to add a commercial plan reviewer for Kona, along with a <br /> plan reviewer for both the East and West Side (one for the East Side and one for <br /> the West Side). The responsibility of this position is to help out for both <br /> residential and commercial plan reviewers when help is required. On the very <br /> slow times this position will also double as a roaming building inspector handling <br /> both inspections and complaints. <br /> Positions were not added at this time due to the fact that we have unresolved <br /> issues and evaluations are on-going. <br /> How are we addressing the employee risk management issue? We can do only <br /> so much. When on inspections if they feel that they are tired, they are to pull on <br /> the side away from traffic and take a break, and if they need to rest, go ahead <br /> and rest. If complaints come in about a County Vehicle on the side with a person <br /> sleeping I will answer to that complaint. <br /> Item #35. Planning and Building felt that house numbering was a better function <br /> in Planning because it related to TMK, and house numbering could be easily <br /> assigned when new subdivisions were created. The transfer of this position to <br /> Planning left a hole in the Design/Maintenance Section of Building Division. <br /> Originally, house numbering was to be only 15% of the duties of the position <br /> (Engineering Drafting Tech. III). From the mid 1900's it was taking 100% of <br /> his/her time. For the Design/Maintenance Section to be productive/efficient we <br /> plan to request another position. <br /> Item #36. Building Code Amendments. It is presently with Corporation Counsel <br /> <br /> for their review of the legal matters. Corrections were made and a copy of the <br /> amendments was sent via a-mail to Legislative Auditors Office, with a note that <br /> "Building Energy Efficiency Standards" were not included, and it needed to be <br /> inserted. Once we receive the comments from Corporation Counsel we will <br /> submit it formally. Cause of the delay is lack of personnel. We hired a private <br /> consultant to work on the amendments. <br /> Item #37. The 8 vehicles are used for building, plumbing and electrical <br /> inspectors. The vehicles have high mileage (well over 100,000), and in recent <br /> <br />
