Program Description:
The City of Oklahoma City covers 621 Square miles presenting some issues regarding
completing inspections in a timely manner. Inspectors were reassigned areas of the City that,
where possible, included areas their homes were located. Inspectors were given City vehicles to
take home, so they may begin and end their work days from home.
Costs / Benefits:
Prior to implementing this program inspectors drove in to the city to pick up their vehicles then
drove back out to begin their inspections in their assigned areas. The parking fees for a parking
garage downtown that housed the city vehicles assigned to inspectors as well as the inspector’s
personal vehicles were paid by the City. Savings were seen from the parking fees that are no
longer paid, and the amount of time that is available for completing inspections increased
through the savings in driving time. This allowed for an increased efficiency level as shown in a
monthly performance measure. Prior to these changes the inspection’s section struggled to meet
the performance measure’s goal of, completing an inspection 70% of the time within two days of
the inspection request. Following these changes, the new goal of completing the inspection
within one day of the request 90% of the time is met regularly.
