Explanation of Budget Variances
Overall in Community Development there is a reduction of 6.26% for 2018, mostly attributable to facilities capital projects
completed in 2017. Proposed for 2018 is the addition of 1 FTE, Facility Service Worker, which is proposed to perform
cleaning services for the Maintenance Facility, Fleet Building, and 3 new hardwalled bathrooms in the parks. Elimination
of the contract cleaning services for the Maintenance Facility and Fleet Building, together with the reduction in cost of
port-o-let servicing for the 3 park locations where hardwalled bathrooms are constructed will significantly offset the
personnel cost of the new FTE Facility Service Worker. There is an anticipated increase of 4% for electricity costs for
City facilities based on projections by Xcel Energy.
The Building Safety program proposes the adoption of the 2018 International Building Codes and associated purchase of
code books in the Administration program. An increase in elevator inspection fees provided by our contracted inspection
service is reflected with the $14,085 increase in Contracted Services for Building Safety. This increased fee will be
reflected in what is charged back to the commercial property owners for elevator inspections. In the Planning program,
the update to the Drainage Criteria Manual in conjunction with Urban Drainage and Flood Control District is anticipated
for 2018, but $40,000 was allocated for this work in 2017, thus the reduction in the Professional Services line item for
2018. The other $60,000 reduction in the Planning program in Professional Services results from the elimination of the
sign designs for a wayfinding sign program. Smart phone technology advances available to the public are viewed as to
have eliminated the need for wayfinding signs for commercial destinations. Pedestrian wayfinding signage around the
light-rail stations is still anticipated in coordination with RTD and SPIMD.
