An independent consultant assessed both work groups’ budgets, staffing and workflows. Several service-level scenarios prepared by the consultant were reviewed.

Existing low staffing levels are not sustainable for either employees or our customers, who are sometimes having to deal with unacceptable turnaround times.
Key recommendations from this assessment included:

A technology fee on permits/applications to fund technology systems operations and updates beginning July 1, 2024.
