CityCouncil | 2015-09-01 | 3 | 360 In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, the Community Development Director stated 25% of Alameda's projects are complicated and need to go to outside engineers for plan check services; CSG Consulting is the same plan check service the Fire Department uses; there is no impact to the General Fund; the position may be underfilled with a plans examiner; Alameda has an efficient model in place based on analysis. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the City has engineers on staff, to which the Community Development Director responded in the negative; stated the Planning Department does not have a structural engineer. Mayor Spencer stated she prefers to have one engineer as part of our staff, counter to what the plan currently is; letters to the editor were sent regarding City engineers. The Interim City Manager stated the letters to the editor were regarding Public Works engineers, not Planning Department engineers. The Community Development Director stated it is more efficient to have access to multiple structural engineers during busy period; certified plans examiners are what is needed internally. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft moved approval of the staff recommendation. Councilmember Daysog Ashcraft seconded the motion, which carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Daysog, Ezzy Ashcraft, Matarrese and Oddie - 4. Noes: Mayor Spencer - 1.
