Public Works? GOLDSTEIN: That's correct. YOSHIYAMA: I don't want to get too far ahead over here but I'll ask this question. You don't see a merging? SUMADA: I don't know if I'm getting to what you're asking, but as far as the organizational chart, it's just a compilation or the re -diagraming of it. The actual duties, which would reflect the merging and/or the sharing of responsibilities, has not been worked out. One of the examples would be that some of the engineering functions that are now done upstairs in our Engineering Division, may be reassigned to some of the building inspectors, or the plan checkers that review plans in Building Division downstairs. But that would need to be worked out and we would need to consult with the Unions, but right now, it doesn't show that in that detail. YOSHIYAMA: Jiro, I didn't want to get a head of myself, too far ahead, but what I did want to address, Virginia, last time you talked about redundancies, but the wholesale move doesn't cover that. That's what I was really getting at. GOLDSTEIN: Right. I can see what you're saying, and in that sense, for example, we show here Zoning Code Inspectors, two of them at two different levels, and likewise, on the other hand, there are all kinds of Building Inspectors, Electrical Inspectors, Plumbing Inspectors, all of these different kinds of inspectors on the Building Branch side, and if something like this were to happen, certainly some of these positions might just merge with these other inspectors. RAY: What does merge mean? GOLDSTEIN: Some of the duties would be put in and redescribed, say for some of these overall inspectors. That's, to me, how we would have to do it. YOSHIYAMA: Yes, okay. RAY: Steve. BESS: As proposed, even though there may be some reduplication of effort right now, there is no Toss of positions. Is that right? GOLDSTEIN: Under this, we reflect existing, all, yes. BESS: And this is what you're proposing? •
