Update on Work Schedules and Request for Additional
Employees
Attached is a proposed schedule of major tasks for this department that was developed
prior to the windstorm of May 15, 1998 and also a modified schedule that includes the
brush pick up.
Some of the items on this schedule must be done in a specific time period, so I tried to
adjust the schedule accordingly. The following list includes some of our tasks that could
be contracted. All of the contractors that I contacted are extremely busy this time of year,
which may be reflected in their prices.
Lion's Park (Boys and Girls Club) Fill Material
Option 1 - Contractor to furnish and deliver (City to place and compact). $ 7,980.00
Option 2 - Contractor to load & deliver (City to furnish, place & compact) 6,000.00
· Brush Clean-up - Loader, 2 trucks, & 1 laborer for 2 weeks
$14,000.00
· Shoulder Restoration & Seeding - Greenheads & Countryside Acres $ 1,500.00
· Library & Police Parking Lot Expansion
Tree removal and subgrade preparation
$ 3,240.00
One partial solution to our dilemma would be to hire a full time Maintenance I employee
now instead of 1999. This early hire could help with the summer workload and allow us
time to train this person prior to the snow season. I would also like to request permission
to hire one additional summer employee.
Extra help will either reduce the amount of work that we need to contract or allow us to
do some tasks in a more timely fashion, or both.
