Request for Development Services Supervisor Position to Assist With Increase in Commercial and Subdivision Projects Within Utilities Department and Associated Budget Amendment
body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
The County has been receiving a dramatic increase in subdivisions and commercial projects. Many of these projects have been rezonings and amendments with higher density than what was originally planned within the County, necessitating water and wastewater infrastructure to be upgraded and oversized to meet the new density requirements. Negotiating water and sewer agreements, oversizing agreements, reviewing capacity analysis, and collaborating with the developers on these projects have been more complicated, taking longer time to achieve approvals.
With these factors, review of these projects has taken longer than expected, delaying projects within the County. Therefore, in order to assist with meeting this continued demand, Utilities is requesting a new position (Development Services Supervisor) to work with the developers to achieve approvals within a shorter timeframe.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding is available in various personnel accounts in fund 4111 Hernando County Utilities, 07096 Engineering Department, in the amount of $ 93,846 (pay grade 12) upon the approval of the attached budget amendment.
LEGAL NOTE
The Board has authority to act on this matter pursuant to Chapter 125, Florida Statutes.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board approve the request along with the associated budget amendment.
