CITY OF SPENCER, IOWA

BUILDING / INSPECTIONS

DEPARTMENT INFORMATION The Building and Inspections budget is used to account for the operations of the Planning Department. This Department issues all building, plumbing and electrical permits, as well as oversees inspections of new construction within the City of Spencer. Other duties of this Department include coordinating nuisance abatement, checking for tall grass and low hanging trees and enforcement of the City's Zoning Code. Expenditures in FY17 increased $64,790.33 (+56.32%) over expenditures in FY16. The main reason for this increase was due to a change in accounting for departmental salaries. Previously, the salary for the Planning Assistant position was budgeted within other departmental budgets. In FY17, the accounting of this salary was fully incorporated with the Planning Department budget. The portions of this salary that were paid by other departments were transferred into he General Fund so as not to impact the tax levy by this accounting change. Other than the extra payroll as has been previously discussed in the Police Department section of this report, other Departmental expenditures were on par with FY16 expenditures. For FY16, the Department expended 87.17% of its budget. The Department is staffed by two full time employees. There were no changes in personnel in FY16.
