Request #9087
My name is Verzhine Galstanyan and I am a student at USC working on my Masters in Public Administration. I am working on a project regarding the 15 surrounding cities near me and need some information. I am specifically looking at information on Planning and Building and Safety. I looked at the city website but was unable to obtain what I needed.
1. An organization chart for Planning and Building & Safety.
2. How many permits were requested in 2023
3. How many permits were issued in 2023.
4. Number of Staff positions in Planning, Building & Safety
5. Number of Staff vacancies
I would very much appreciate any assistance you can provide.
