SUMMARY EXPLANATION
A. 020 — Hearing Examiner Account. This year has been the busiest year in many years for the
Planning Division. As a result to the large number of land use applications submitted, there has
been an increase number of applications to the Heanng Examiner with no sign of this pattern
ending soon From the beginning of 2005 to July 1, 2005, the Hearing Examiner had 205 hours
of land use application work compared to 52 hours at this time last year As a result, the Code
Administration and Planning Division has exceeded the 2005 budget allocated to the Hearing
Examiner ($25,000) in the first five months of this year Based upon the number of applications
under review plus the complexity of some of these applications (i e Wal -Mart Rezone)
currently anticipated for the fourth quarter of 2005, the Code Administration and Planning
Division would request the budget increase of $40,000 for the remainder of the year
B 021 — Environmental Planning Account. The Environmental Planning budget account
021 has five (5) line items needing appropriation approval for some of the same reasons stated
above These budget line items are overtime - -120, professional services - 410, postage — 422,
advertising — 440, and printing — 492

Most of the line items mentioned above have been spent down to 10% of their 2005 budget
authority The number of development applications have contributed to much of this workload,
but some of the expenditures have resulted from 2006 Comprehensive Plan update the Code
Administration and Planning staff is working to complete Public participation has also been a
significant factor in the increase request. The Planning workload this year (2005) presently is
82 -land use applications compared to this time last year (2004) of 28 land use apphcations
Planning has process in 2005 thus far 147 applications compared to 45 in 2004 at this time
As a partial offset of revenue to help balance these additional expenses, we have identified
building permit revenue, which is running substantially above budget projections through June
30, 2005 For the first 6 months of the year we have collected 65% of the projected annual
revenue with several large buildings still under review for the second half of 2005 Our current
projects are that building permit revenue will end the year at somewhere between $35,000 and
$75,000 over budget.
