TOWN OF WATERFORD
FY2025 BUDGET REQUEST
DEPARTMENT: Building
BUDGET FUNCTION
The Building Department manages permitting for all construction in Waterford and is responsible for
administering and enforcing codes and ordinances to protect public safety and building accessibility. The
Department includes the Building Official, two Assistant Building Officials and clerical staff who are housed
within the Planning Office. Primary functions include processing building permits, plan review, conducting
field inspections, evaluating buildings for occupancy and enforcing codes. Additionally, the Building
Department works with residents, contractors, design professionals, realtors, appraisers and developers
to help understand the building codes and permitting process. The Building Department works closely
with other permitting services, including Planning, Zoning, Ledge Light Health District and the Fire Marshal
to help coordinate development projects throughout town. The Officials routinely provide inspection and
support services for town building projects and capital planning efforts.
The Building Department operates under the following codes and ordinances:
e Connecticut State Building Code
International Building Code
International Residential Code
International Energy Conservation Code
International Plumbing Code
International Mechanical Code
National Electrical Code
Accessibility Standards
e Connecticut State Fire Safety Code
e International Fire Code
e Rental Housing Code
e Property Maintenance Code
e Connecticut Demolition Code
e Delay of Demolition Ordinance
The total amount requested in FY25 is $326,722. The Building Department historically generates more
revenue through permit fees than the total annual budget. In fiscal year 2023, the Department revenue
was $601,620. This number does not reflect municipal building projects for which we do not collect
building permit fees. The five-year average (FY2019-FY2023) in Department revenue is $472,022.

TOWN OF WATERFORD
FY2025 BUDGET REQUEST
DEPARTMENT: Building ©
Advertising Line 10118-52010
$3,000 Requested
Buildings over 50 years old are subject to specific delay of demolition requirements. One of these
requirements is legal to provide notice of the proposed demolition. Due to changes in the real estate
market, there has been a large increase in the number of demolition applications received. In fiscal year
2023, the department received 13 applications for demolition. This budget request anticipates 20
demolition notices at average cost of $150 per advertisement.
Postage Line 10118-52020
$1,000 Requested
Postage is used to mail permits, correspondence and certified abatement orders. The Department
mails notices to owners of single-family dwellings that they may pick up their house plans rather than
placing an ad in the New London Day. While the Department has seen an increase in the number of
permits and the number of people requesting information be mailed to them, the implementation of
the new online permitting application in FY23 allows the Department to send permits to those
applicants that request them electronically potentially offsetting any increase in postage rates for FY25.
Professional Fees Line 10118-52030
$10,000 Requested
This line is used to secure professional services to supplement plan review services as needed and for
engineering and technical consulting services to evaluate structures as needed for safety and
compliance with the Property Maintenance Code. Historically, the need for consulting services was rare,
and Building Officials attempt to perform most work as part of their regular duties. The Department
requests $10,000 to fund this service.
There are times, however, when specialized services such as from a structural engineer or expert ina
particular trade are needed. If services are required as part of an enforcement action, the Town is
generally obligated to pay these costs upfront and seek reimbursement after enforcement. The number
of enforcement actions in a given year is unpredictable and the majority of enforcement issues have
been resolved without requiring a third party professional. Having funds to enable third party assistance
should the Building Official deem it necessary helps enforcement proceed in a timely manner.

TOWN OF WATERFORD
FY2025 BUDGET REQUEST
DEPARTMENT: Building
Service Contracts and Repairs Line 10118-52040
$2,004 Requested
The Building Official and Assistant Building Officials use three smartphones and two iPad tablets in the
daily functions of their duties. Each phone and tablet requires a wireless plan to cover phone, text and
data fees. The phone plans are $41 per month. The iPad plan is $22 per iPad each per month. Each
phone will cost $492 per year to operate while the annual operational cost for the iPads is $528. The
total cost of the cellular plans is $2004.
Dues, Conferences and Education Line 10118-52050
$5,580 Requested
The State of Connecticut requires building officials to attend training seminars and conferences in order
to maintain licenses and certification. The New England Building Officials seminar and The Eastern
States Building Officials Conference are important annual events that provide a significant portion of the
ongoing training mandated by Statute. Statutes also obligate the town to be a member of the ICC —
International Code Council.
Building Officials maintain multiple certifications and organizational memberships. These include
memberships to the Connecticut Building Official Association, The International Association of Electrical
Inspectors, the International Code Council, and the Connecticut Association of Housing Code
Enforcement Officials and South Eastern CT Building Officials Association. Waterford’s Building Officials
also maintain certifications and keep current on code issues by attending conferences including the
Eastern States Building Official Conference, the New England Building Officials Education Conference at
UMass, Amherst, and the CT Electrical License Class. In FY25 Dues are anticipated to cost $690.
Conferences, classes, and seminars are anticipated to cost $3,390.
The Building Department maintains copies of code books and associated digital materials. New sets of
materials are purchased as new codes are adopted. In FY25 the Department anticipates spending $1,500
on these materials.
Office Supplies Line 10118-53010
$2,400 Requested
Funds in this line are needed to purchase supplies not provided by the Finance Department. Examples
include specialized delay of demolition signs, enforcement placards and color cartridges for the printer.
The Department uses the Town printing services for bulk printing of flyers, postcards or other large jobs,
but daily color printing is still necessary. Whenever possible, staff prints in black and white to avoid
unnecessary use of the color printer. The estimated cost for color ink cartridges is $1,200. Plotter paper
and toner for the large format copier is anticipated to cost $1,200 in FY25.

Fuels and Lubricants Line 10118-53090
$1,430 Requested
The Building Department is responsible for three automobiles assigned to the Building Official and 2
Assistant Building Officials. The vehicles are also used by the Assessor’s Office and IT employees. The
Department estimates using approximately 500 gallons of gasoline at $2.4776 per gallon. $1,239 is
requested.
Office Equipment Line 10118-54060
$4,000 Requested
Office furniture for the Building Official.
As the department is working towards a paperless future like so many other towns as well as the state, a
functional office layout is vital to support the review of electronic plan submissions. The current
furniture and restricted layout options in a small office space do not functionally work with the location
of the large TV screen for efficient plan review. The new furniture request is for an adjustable height
standing desk, credenza, wall cabinet and side table. The standing desk will replace a current 1960's
style drafting board. It is important to have a functional and ergonomic workstation to support the plan
review process especially in light of the staffing shortage the Building Department has been experiencing
for a few years now.
