<br /> <br />Mr. Price asked if the First Tee program with the school got off the ground. Ms. <br />MacCartney said it did not because the school district person was no longer with the <br />district and they are presently in the process of reassigning it. Mr. Price noted the <br />importance of this program getting started. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe did not understand how throwing in the use of the pool did not cost more. He <br />asked if you could just purchase a pool pass. Ms. MacCartney said the pool has a fixed <br />cost and throwing in extra people did not appreciably increase the pool cost. He also was <br />not aware that the pool membership was thrown in with the Centennial Commons <br />membership. <br /> <br />Mr. Price asked the Director of Public Works Evelyn Benford-Shields if there would be a <br />financial gain if everyone recycled. Ms. Benford-Shields said that disposal cost would be <br />reduced significantly. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner asked Ms. Benford-Shields if the reduction in leaf vacuuming would save <br />money in the budget. She stated that it would not as the first vacuuming is completed <br />within two days and another benefit by sweeping the streets would help preserve the <br />surface. Ms. Benford-Shields said that Public Works cannot collect all the leaves in the <br />nine week period, so collecting some ahead helped. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow felt there would be some beneficial savings to the City by reducing the leaf pick- <br />up by one. Ms. Benford-Shields said she would look at after the meeting to see what the <br />savings would be. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci stated she was having trouble understanding the relationship between Public <br />Works, Solid Waste and Fleet Management. She asked if Revenue was shown in Fleet <br />Management when work was expensed to another department. Ms. Watson stated that <br />line item Fleet Service Replacement included any expense associated with a vehicle. Ms. <br />Ricci asked what was slated for $75,000 listed under Supplies in Public Works. Ms. <br />Watson thought it was for carts that were being purchased. She asked Ms. Benford- <br />Shields if she received monthly financial reports for her department, so she is able to see <br />where they stand in relationship to budget and she confirmed that she did. Ms. Ricci <br />asked if Public Works also self generates their own financial spread sheet and Ms. <br />Benford-Shields stated they did. Ms. Watson stated that a lot of departments keep their <br />own spread sheet as the financial department’s present system is hard to navigate. <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert asked how many sanitation trucks are on the street and how many are there in <br />total? Ms. Benford-Shields stated she would have to look to get an accurate count but <br />knew of two trash trucks, two recycling trucks and two yard waste trucks that go out daily. <br />She stated that there are some older trucks that need to be sold. Mr. Glickert said then <br />there are assets sitting in those trucks. He asked about the trash truck that caught fire and <br />preventative maintenance taking place. Ms. Benford-Shields stated that they are working <br />with the manufacturer to place a cover to prevent paper from landing behind the cab to <br />prevent future fires. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner stated that the quality of fleet maintenance and preventive maintenance can <br />extend the life-time of a vehicle. Ms. Benford-Shields said the fleet management study will <br />cover this. <br /> <br /> <br />
