CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve the part-time Development Services Technician position status change from a
temporary (status 9) to a permanent (status 8) position for the City of Redding Development
Services Department.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact as this position was included in the 2021-23 Biennial Budget for the
Development Services Department.
Alternative Action
The City Council could choose to not accept the status change and provide staff with additional
direction.
Background/Analysis
In February 2022, the part-time Development Services Technician position was created to assist
the Permit Center counter due to staffing shortages and an influx of work. At that time, the intent
was to create a permanent position; however, the position was inadvertently created as a
temporary position. Staff only recently became aware of this error and believe it is important
change the status of this position to permanent because it has been, and continues to be, a huge
asset to the Permit Center. This position performs a wide variety of paraprofessional, technical,
and administrative tasks to support duties at the Permit Center. Job duties include:
• Assisting the general public at the Permit Center by phone, email, or via the electronic
permitting system regarding all permitting requirements, plan check and plan review
process, permit filing procedures and processing, and permit status.
