Title
Resolution to Approve a Budget Amendment for Continued Professional Services Provided by Carlisle Wortman, LLC, Under Their Existing Contract and to Amend the FY23 Budget and Appropriate Necessary Funds of $100,000 (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
The City has an existing contract with Carlisle Wortman to provide plan review, inspection, and administrative services for Community Services, Building, and Rental in a Service Agreement dated July 3, 2018 (the Agreement).
Due to a shortage of mechanical and electrical inspection staffing, the City has a need to increase the frequency of Carlisle Wortman support for inspections to meet public requirements for the timely completion of projects. This additional funding will allow us to meet inspection demands as they increase through the end of FY23.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Building Services is requesting to amend the FY23 budget for the Construction Code Fund by $100,000. Funding is available in the fund balance of the Construction Code Fund.
