Re: Meeting Recording Equipment Purchase Request
Purpose
The purpose of the request is to authorize the purchase of equipment to record and live stream SMBA board
meetings once we return to in-person meetings.
Background
Being able to live stream the meetings will allow for enhanced community engagement, while publishing a
recording of the meetings enhances transparency and provides an invaluable resource for the development of
meeting minutes.
While the equipment is not needed immediately, it is prudent to purchase said equipment and establish a
workflow before it is needed.
Cost / Funding Source
The total cost for the necessary equipment will be approximately $2,830. The capital outlay account currently
has an available balance of $4,215.28. There are ample funds to make the purchase without amending the
budget. The purchase requires board approval because the total is greater than $2,500.
Request
A request is made to authorize the purchase of such equipment as is necessary to facilitate the recording and
live streaming of in-person board meetings up to an amount of $3,500.

requested language.
The revised language is shown in red in the attached draft document.

MEMORANDUM
To: SMBA Board
From: Office Manager
Date: 2021-07-06
Re: Building Plan Review Cost Analysis
Background
SMBA currently contracts most commercial building plan reviews to a third-party (Code Source). The Building
Official made this decision so that his time could be focused on residential reviews and inspections. This
arrangement has worked well until recently, when SMBA started to receive complaints regarding the amount of
time the reviews are taking to complete and a lack of communication from the third-party reviewer. In
response to these complaints, Chair Farmer requested an analysis of potential other options for these reviews
which is the purpose of this memorandum. The following listing should not be construed as a ranking of the
options.
Building Valuation Data and Its Use in Calculations
As a reminder to the board, a typical plan review fee is based on a project’s Building Valuation Data (BVD).
The BVD for a project is typically a calculation done by SMBA which multiplies the average cost of construction
per square foot for a given building use and construction method by the gross square footage of the building.
The average cost per square foot values are obtained from a table published by the International Code Council
(ICC), which is updated on a bi-annual basis. It is important to note that these values are national averages
and may not fully reflect regional conditions, though it is generally accurate and allows for the uniform
application of fees. Once a BVD is calculated, it is then run through a fee schedule to determine the actual fee.
For example, a BVD between $1 and $3,000,000 would be multiplied by 0.0012, whereas a BVD between
$3,000,001 and $6,000,000 may have a base fee of $3,600 plus 0.0005 percent of the BVD over $3,000,000.
Actual-Cost Billing Practice
SMBA has adopted an actual cost billing practice for third-party plan reviews. The Authority has adopted a
$150/hour plan review fee for in-house plan reviews (performed by Building Official Reitenour or one of our
contracted inspectors with the appropriate license). For third-party reviews, SMBA passes the actual cost of
the review to the permit applicant. SMBA pays the reviewer immediately upon receipt of the invoice for the
services rendered and seeks to recover that cost from the applicant prior to the release of a permit for the
work.
Option 1: Continue with Code Source
Published Turn-around Time: 10 Business Days
Fee Calculation Method: BVD + Fee Schedule
For the 2021 year-to-date, SMBA has budgeted $40,000 for plan review fees, and spent $33,005 of that
budgeted amount. It should be noted that this number also includes fees paid to other third-party reviewers for
services which SMBA is not able to perform in-house due to a lack of certification, such as fire suppression
reviews. While it is impossible to accurately forecast what construction projects will be undertaken by
residents, it would not be unreasonable to assume that construction will continue as it has for the first two
2021-07-22 SMBA Board Packet | Page 33 of 40
Memorandum, Continued
Page 2 of 3
quarters of 2021. Based on that data, it is feasible that the Authority will spend an additional $30,000 on plan
review fees for a total of $60,000 requiring a budget amendment of $20,000.
In FY2020, SMBA’s amended budget for plan review was $40,000 and the Authority actually spent $45,307
Option 2: Have Plan Reviews Conducted by the International Code Council (ICC)
Published Turn-around Time: 15-20 Business Days
Fee Calculation Method: BVD + Fee Schedule
Plan reviews through the ICC utilize a comparable fee schedule to Code Source. The published turn-around
time is longer than that of Code Source. However, the actual turn-around time from Code Source has been
trending around that time or longer. A potential cost savings with the ICC is shipping costs for plan sets.
SMBA currently ships plan sets to Code Source for review, but the ICC utilizes an online portal which would
eliminate much of that cost.
Overall, this option will be similar in cost to option 1; the determining factors being communication and actual
turn-around times.
Option 3: Hire a Staff Part-time Plan Reviewer or Building Inspector
This option has two sub-options which are lumped together because the cost will be roughly the same. The
first would be to hire a part-time plan reviewer to perform the commercial plan reviews (or others as directed),
which would allow Building Official Reitenour to focus on inspections and residential reviews. The second
would be to hire a part-time building inspector to perform inspections instead of Building Official Reitenour to
allow him to remain in the office and complete the reviews. In either case, the part-time position would be
needed one or two days per week.
Based on wage data from O*NET and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), an appropriate hourly wage for the
position would be somewhere between $21 and $30 per hour. The median wage for the Kalamazoo/Portage
area is $25.33/hour, while the median for the state of Michigan is $28.56.
Based on the number of hours per week, the position would not be eligible for any SMBA benefits aside from
Workers Compensation Insurance.
The primary concern with this option is that the labor market for inspectors / plan examiners is very
understaffed, and many are seeking full time employment.
Calculation 1:
Hours/Week 8
Hourly Wage $25.00
Gross $25 * 8 = $200
SMBA’s Share of FICA Taxes (7.65%) $200 * 0.0765 = $15.30
Cost/Week $200 + $15.30 = $215.30
Cost/Year $215.30 * 52 = $11,195.60
Calculation 2:
Hours/Week 16
Hourly Wage $25.00
Gross $25 * 16 = $400
SMBA’s Share of FICA Taxes (7.65%) $400 * 0.0765 = $30.60
Cost/Week $400 + $30.60 = $430.60
2021-07-22 SMBA Board Packet | Page 34 of 40
Memorandum, Continued
Page 3 of 3
Cost/Year $430.60 * 52 = $22,391.20
Option 4: Leverage Existing Contract with Adam Dahlgren
SMBA currently has a contract with Adam Dahlgren to perform building inspections for the Authority when
Building Official Reitenour is out of the office. The terms of the contract are $50/inspection performed. Based
on inspection data from the past four years (going back to 2018), SMBA performed an average of 8.5 building
inspections per day. Using that information, the Authority has currently budgeted $10,000 for the occasional
use of Mr. Dahlgren’s services based on Building Official Reitenour using 25 PTO days multiplied by 8
inspections/day multiplied by $50/inspection.
Mr. Dahlgren has expressed a willingness to regularly perform inspections for SMBA one day per week, which
would allow Building Official Reitenour to remain in the office and focus on plan reviews.
Inspections/Week 8
Cost Per Inspection $50
Cost/Week $50 * 8 = $400
Cost/Year $400 * 52 = $20,800
Since there will undoubtedly be some PTO days which would overlap with the regularly scheduled dates, a
budget of $30,000 for 2022 is recommended.

Medical Insurance Taxable Opt-Out (Cash In Lieu of Insurance) Policy
Purpose
I. Establish a policy for the calculation of a taxable opt-out option for employees who elect not to
participate in the Authority’s employer-sponsored healthcare program.
II. Ensure equitable benefits are received by eligible employees who elect not to participate in the
employer-sponsored healthcare program.
Statement of Policy
III. All employees who are eligible to participate in the Authority’s employer-sponsored healthcare
program but elect not to participate shall be entitled to a bi-weekly cash opt-out payment as
required for cafeteria plans under IRS regulations (Section 125).
IV. Such payment shall be calculated on a per-employee basis and shall be re-calculated on an
annual basis.
V. The Board of Directors shall affirm such calculations by means of the budget review process.
VI. Such payments shall not be included in gross wages for the calculation of other benefits (such as
retirement benefits).
Procedure
VII. The taxable cash amount shall be calculated for each employee using the following information:
a. Annual HSA contribution amount authorized by the Board of Directors.
b. Benefit & Rate Schedule from the healthcare provider.
i. From this schedule, determine what the premium cost would be to SMBA if the
employee did participate in the healthcare plan.
c. Number of Pay Dates in the year being calculated.
d. Employee’s age at the time of calculation.
e. Number of employee’s dependents and their ages.
i. A maximum of 5 dependents shall be utilized in the calculation in order of their
age starting with the oldest dependent.
VIII. The formula for calculating the cash amount shall be:
a. Bi-weekly Payment = ( [Annual HSA Contribution Amount] + ( 0.5 * [Annual Theoretical
Employee Premium Cost] ) ) / [Number of Pay Dates in Year]
b. Example A:
i. Employee is 35 years old and has no dependents. Based on the benefit and rate
schedule, the premium cost would be $362.91 / month.
ii. Board approved a $3,500 HSA contribution.
iii. Calculation:
1. Formula: ( 3500 + ( 0.5 * ( 362.91 * 12 ) ) / 26 = 218.36 (Rounded)
2. Step By Step:
a. Annual Premium Cost: $362.91 * 12 = $4,354.92
b. 50% of Premium Cost: $4,354.92 * 0.5 = $2,177.46
c. Subtotal: $3,500 + $2,177.46 = $5,677.46
d. Bi-weekly Amount: $5,677.46 / 26 = $218.36 (Rounded)
c. Example B:
2021-07-22 SMBA Board Packet | Page 37 of 40
i. Employee is 40 years old and has six dependents, ranking in age from 42, 22, 18,
16, 14, and 12. Based on the benefit and rate schedule, the premium cost would
be:
1. Employee – Age 40: $380.48
2. Age 42: $394.36
3. Age 22: $298.46
4. Age 18: $278.37
5. Age 16: $263.54
6. Age 14: $237.72
7. (Stop after 5 dependents).
ii. Premium total: $1,852.93 / Month
iii. Board approved a $3,500 HSA Contribution
iv. Calculation:
1. Formula: ( 3500 + ( 0.5 * ( 1852.93 * 12 ) ) / 26 = 562.21 (Rounded)
2. Step By Step:
a. Annual Premium Cost: $1,852.93 * 12 = $22,235.16
b. 50% of Premium Cost: $22,235.16 * 0.5 = $11,117.58
c. Subtotal: $3,500 + $11,117.58 = $14,617.58
d. Bi-weekly Amount: $14,617.58 / 26 = $562.21 (Rounded)
IX. For budgeting purposes, multiply the calculated bi-weekly amount by the number of pay dates
in the year to determine the annual cost to account for any differences caused by rounding.
a. Example A: $218.36 * 26 = $5,677.36
b. Example B: $562.21 * 26 = $14,617.46
