the black line is what our current staffing level is. i don't plan to try to go over that because the fear of not having enough work and having to lay people off. the question is how do we perform the work above that line? we use dpw or consultants. the blue is the specialized work like tunnels and projects that are specialized that we need expertise to perform. the new slide identifies the resources we have in each category. each year, the amount of resources needed is decreasing and the amount of resources that are needed in the other programs are increasing. the current staff needs are the fourth column and that is consistent with the green line on the previous chart. if you look at this green line on the chart, the numbers will coincide with the years. one of the other things we look at is how we provide supporting services in forms of work orders to really assist us. over the past years, we have helped other agencies, give them resources so they can help us deliver these capital projects. one of the big indicators we look at measuri

we are proposing additional staffing proposal. since the economic downturn back in 2008 and the resulting budget deficits, the department reduced its overall position account and made other budget reductions. the department began to experience some growth in its fee revenues. as a result, the department has been able to leverage this growth in revenue to address some staffing issues to fill some vacant positions. this staffing effort began through the creation of the plan or technician classification series and other support staff additions over the past two years. the department has run civil service examinations for existing planner classifications and has been filling them over the past few years as well. to continue this implementation of the department's staffing savage -- strategy, there are needs in the payroll, technical support function and for a website and permanent tracking system support. moving on to the non personal services item, these include things such as professional service contracts, advertising and postage.
