Mayor Lvvestrand moved instead ofa full-time secretary, that the pan-
meposition in Police be moved m the Fire Division to provide a
pan-time sauuary for Codas Enforcement. Seconded by
Commissioner Miller_
Deputy Mayor Anderson thought Mayor Lovestrand's comments made a lot of
and was not wnvinced oPihe need for z NlHime position there, and
asked Mr. Otago m provide input on the need. Mr. Drago deferzed to Direcwr
Baker Mr. Drago did,however. clarify shat the position isa pan-time
position in the Fire Department and it would be eliminated and moved to
Codes as a fulHimesevretanal position
Director Baker explained that they are working on going to laptop computers'.
how r, there stillalot ofint coal paper work to bedone. He believed
that the cunen[ part-iima positioa could be beau milized for Codes
Bnforcunent thereby keeping the Cvdes Officers ovt on the street.
Deputy Mayor Andercan agreed there was still a lot of Codes Enforcement
work to be done- n hng thus were stil I a lot of cazec on the agenda.
As to the duties oP the Ihll-rime secretary, Director Baku said Codes
Enforc ould be her in job, bm she would also assist other Fire
sections, researching recordseuc. if needed.
Commissioner Bundy asked if this position were m ge[ allocated would chat

those ofesmilar eshould take eppro comely the same timem come
forward. He said a emry would not help that. How r. if it ould
expedite the paper work, he would not have a problem with that. w
Disc ued with reaped[ ro the Codes Enforeement OlFcers' work
schedule andvwhethu the ten-hour work day was the best scheduling
CC 9-03-021193
Dire or Baker explained the rationale COr the ten-hour work day noting the
Commission had wanted weekend coverage and [his uheduling allowed for
that.
Com er Miller oted that Codes Enforcement woks are seen, at times,
tside of the City limy end that this shonlA be looked in o. He Nnher wide
thll-time seuetary was not something that should be done at this time.

Mr. Drago a aced the annual salary would be approx ately %19.000 plus,

justifed to expedite evfor errant.
Mayor Lovestrand said the part-time position was around 59,500 and this new
position would cost around 815,000 extra. He said the whole budged is Ioosa
like that; they should be going through it line by line. further, said he believes
the department is run loosely.. working 10 hour days, four day weeks...
eveMhing should be computerized and au[omatic and t'orms should be
generated fiom the feld and said he would stand with his motion. Mayor
Lovestrend said he did not believe they would see any greater reaulte than they
see today.
Uepury Mayor Anders said hew wary ofcreatingafvll-time pos n. h
would be harA to ever get rid ofthat position. At the same time, umil he scans
eing in the Coles Enfo« nt Board m s [hat there a signifca
somber ofcases, he believes there is still a large need for Codes Enforcement!
So he would support that As Com er Bundy m oned, the pos
does not have to be 100% Por CoAee,tbnlt could continue to do the other rtleeords
work etc. which would jns[ify the bill time position. Therefore, he would vrne

really important function, they would not be trying to make her atoll-time
Codes Enforwmem secretary endjust elimiuxte the wnentjob. Thejob
Cunction originally was not a necessity. What is the point of creating a full-time
position when we can switch the non-necessary position to the necessary
position for Codes Enforcement.
Commissioner Bundy said he would like to amend his motion and said
i[the pos rely not needed, then just shiN the position over to

many days he had missed this year.
Mr. Drago said he did not know the specifics, but noted he had family health
problems as well as his own He said the division does fuvuion:however.
what lag behind are probably the fre nspections relative to Occupational

Mayor Love and said it mad to him if tM1ey were goingwxuafitll time

the supervisor in that division and asked how much time he had missed.
Director Haku said he did not kvow the number of days; howevu- Codes
Enforcement dues not focus around that supervisor because if he is out, either
he or Chief Chapman aversees-

Marshal and is it a mandated, required pos n. He understood a [rainee w-as

Director Baker said it requir s certain uedentiala
Commissioner Bundy said it appears it could be a firelighter if he had those
nifca and asked why we pay a Fire Marshal if we have other personnel
available ~o do this. Director Baku deferred to Mr-Utago.
Mr. Drago responded that it is a vaditional position in Fire Service and is
supposed to be doing fire prevention ectivitiey fire investigation, certain
tit of fire inspections and review ofbuildinx plans for life saPoty code
