BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Community Development Department has an ongoing need for a full-time
employee to perform plan check duties. Earlier this year, the City established the
classifications of Assistant Plan Check Engineer and Associate Plan Check Engineer,
with the goal of filling one position at either level, depending on the qualifications of the
applicant pool. Despite recruiting for this position since early this year, the City has been
unsuccessful in finding a suitable candidate for the position.
As an alternative to filling this vacancy, staff is proposing to resurrect the classification
of Plans Examiner. While the City has used this classification in the past, it is not
currently included in our Classification and Compensation Plans. The City of Tustin
Personnel Rules (City Council Resolution No. 15-50) require that amendments or
revisions to the Classification and Compensation Plan be approved by resolution of the
City Council.
A Plans Examiner is assigned to review residential, commercial, and industrial building
plans and specifications for compliance with pertinent building and safety codes and
regulations. This classification is similar to a Plan Check Engineer, with the difference

being a Plan Check Engineer is a civil engineer who is also able to perform engineering
tasks related to plan check duties.
The minimum qualifications of the classification of Plans Examiner are any combination
of education and experience that are equivalent to an associate's degree, including
coursework related to building construction, and three years of experience performing
building plan review and/or inspection. In addition, certification from the International
Code Council (ICC) as Building Plans Examiner is required within six months of
employment in this classification. The hourly rate for this classification will be initially set
at $40.32 - $51.70 per hour.
The classification of Plans Examiner will be assigned to the Tustin Municipal Employees
Association (TMEA). Staff has discussed this proposal with TMEA leadership and
received their approval to proceed with re-establishing this classification with the terms
described above.
