L <br />With the current staff levels, multi -trade training has been the Inspection Department's <br />strategy in answering the large workload with a few people. The disadvantages to this are <br />that most inspectors have one trade in which they are more experienced, and the other <br />trades have to be learned on the job. In addition, staff is saddled with a very high number of <br />requests per day, which keeps all field inspectors under constant pressure to perform in <br />sometimes - unfamiliar areas at a high frequency. <br />Outcomes: <br />• Through proper code compliance, increase public safety and reduce risk of property <br />damage and /or personal injury as a result of man made or natural catastrophe <br />• All inspectors would be available for in- office customers consult from 8 -9 am daily resulting <br />in immediate response to inquiries. <br />• Complete 90 percent of footing inspection requests called in before 9 am that same day. <br />• Complete 90 percent of general inspections on the day of request. <br />Measures: <br />Without new staff resources: <br />Measure <br />01/02 <br />Actual <br />02/03 <br />Actual <br />03/04 <br />Estimate <br />04/05 <br />Projected <br />Inspections conducted <br />18,481 <br />19,900 <br />20,186 <br />22,017 <br />Complaints/Inquiries <br />269 <br />185 <br />114 <br />120 <br />Schools inspected <br />25 <br />26 <br />27 <br />30 <br />Child Care facilities inspected <br />6 <br />6 <br />8 <br />9 <br />Adult care facilities inspected <br />6 <br />3 <br />8 <br />8 <br />Commercial facilities for ABC <br />licenses inspected <br />6 <br />16 <br />47 <br />30 <br />Occupancy loads posted in <br />Assembly/Restaurants <br />5 <br />9 <br />5 <br />5 <br />All Inspections will be completed, as required by State Code.
