This Technician will perform traditional code enforcement job <br />duties as well as assisting in report taking, traffic control, animal control and other related duties <br />as assigned. The department is creating a more utilitarian role for this position. There currently is <br />one opening in the code enforcement unit as a result of a resignation of a code enforcement <br />officer. <br />DISCUSSION/ ANALYSIS: <br />The City of Colton receives numerous calls and complaints from our citizens in reference to code <br />enforcement related issues. Given our current staffing, these calls generally are received and <br />prioritized for follow-up. It is the desire of the police department to recruit and appoint a Police <br />Services Technician to assist in addressing these concerns. This Technician is a reclassification <br />of the vacant code enforcement position. This Technician will perform traditional code <br />enforcement duties as well as being available to assist in animal control, parking enforcement and <br />report taking. This allows our Police Officers to focus their attentions on more serious issues. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />The cost to fund the Police Services Technician position will be funded through the general fund. <br />There has been a cost savings realized due to the vacant code enforcement position. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />Not Applicable <br />ALTERNATIVES: <br />Do not approve the department's request to recruit and appoint and continuing addressing these <br />issues with current staffing levels. <br />CONFLICT OF INTEREST - Gift Disclosure Requirements: <br />Not Applicable <br />
