| TYPE OF PROGRAM ADJUSTMENT | ||||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM | ||||||||||||||
| Hire two part-time planning interns, one for general planning and one for Historic Resources, to equal one FTE position. The Historic Resources Intern is a currently maintained position that is partially grant-funded, whose duties include, assisting the Historic Resources Administrator with all aspects of the Design Review Process. The General Planning Intern would be a new position that would assist in creating and maintaining an electronic filing system, and assisting with planning projects. | ||||||||||||||
| BENEFITS OF FUNDING PROGRAM | ||||||||||||||
| This program improvement is beneficial not only to the general public and development community in making information more readily available, but also to the department as a whole in easing workloads and improving response time to general requests from the public. In addition to the benefits to the public, development community and the department as a whole, the funding of these two positions benefits the interns by providing them valuable knowledge and experience in their fields of study. | ||||||||||||||
| ESTIMATE AND EXPLANATION OF NEW REVENUE | ||||||||||||||
| CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING PROGRAM | ||||||||||||||
| This program improvement is a necessary step in achieving an efficient, streamlined, modern development process. Currently the State of Kansas funds the Historic Resources Intern position 60% through a Historic Preservation Fund grant, but they have indicated that funding is potentially not available for the 2008 grant cycle. This would mean a loss of a valuable asset to the Historic Resources program and make the workload of that division unmanageable. Growth in the Preservation Program was identified during the last budget year in an approved Program Improvement for an additional Planner II to assist with Downtown redevelopment projects and Commercial Design reviews. The resources previously approved were reallocated to assist the department in implementing recommendations from the Matrix report. | ||||||||||||||
| POSITIONS INVOLVED IN PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT | ||||||||||||||
| One new part-time position is created, a Planning Intern, and 100% funding is taken over for the already created position of Historic Resources Intern. Together, these positions equal funding for one full-time employee (without benefit package). | ||||||||||||||
