Contract Planners are not listed as FTE resources in the actual budget documents. They are shown as an
expenditure line item under contract service costs.
As the above table indicates, staffing levels have fluctuated over the period shown.
From FY 10/11 to FY 11/12, staffing resources were reduced by over 37% due to
budgetary constraints, and the Planning Manager, Development Services Tech and a
Municipal Services Admin. Positions were eliminated.
In FY 12/13 staffing resources increase by 60%, with the addition of a Community
Development Director, two Development Services Technicians, and a Municipal
Service Admin. Position. There was no change in staffing resources in FY 13/14,
however, in FY 14/15, staffing resource numbers increased by just over 12%, with the
addition of a Senior Planner. In FY 15/16, the Division increased its contract planner
staffing resources and added an Associate Planner position.
Within the 5-year period shown, the Division began utilizing Contract Planners in FY
2011/12 to supplement full-time staffing resources in an effort to respond to an
increase in development activity. Contract Planning staff resources remained level

2035 and TRAKiT implementation projects.
Activity data provided by Division, shown earlier, indicates that Planning Application
activity decreased by 16% from FY 13/14 to FY 14/15, while Development
