2 <br /> Planning and Inspections Department <br /> 3. The Planning and Inspections Department is converting three time-limited full time <br /> equivalent (FTE) positions to permanent FTE positions. The Property Development <br /> Specialist, Property Development Technician and Erosion Control Officer are supported by <br /> inspection fee revenues, which are consistently able to support these positions due to the <br /> rate of development trends in the County, which are forecast to sustain as a new baseline <br /> level of activity. Conversion from time-limited to permanent will help with staff recruiting <br /> and retention. There is no additional cost to the County with the conversion. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal impact <br /> associated with this item. <br /> Visitors Bureau <br /> 4.
