Staff warn of heavy front-loaded workload for CSM reviews; commissioners discuss contingency funding
Summary
County staff and commissioners discussed an expected initial surge in CSM reviews if an ordinance is adopted, with an estimate of about two hours per CSM and suggestions to structure fees or contract temporary help to manage early workload spikes.
Commissioners raised implementation concerns tied to staff capacity if the ordinance drives an initial surge of Certified Survey Map (CSM) reviews. A Committee member noted the review and mapping work would fall heavily on specific offices and that initial years could be the busiest.
The Commission discussed contingency options. The Chair said the county should "acknowledge the need for that money upfront to do it" and proposed structuring fees or contracting temporary survey/review support so staff are not overwhelmed in the first three to five years after implementation. Staff estimated an average of about two staff hours per CSM review based on recent workload comments.
