Session 1757 - Budget Meeting <br />May 17, 1999 <br /> <br />26.60 SANITATION DIVISION: <br /> <br />Under 711.10 Regular Employee Pay, there is an error and it should be reduced by <br />$40,000. We will be doing some extra recycling work, but we will be getting grants for <br />them. Responding to Mr. $choomer, Mr. Ollendorff said that the yard waste and the speed <br />bump report should be ready in another week. Responding to Mr. Munkel, Mr. Ollendorff <br />said the increase under 732.04 Cleaning and Sanitation, - $18,000 is for dumpster <br />replacement, and 500 replacement recycling containers, and 300 replacement auto parts. <br />Responding to Mr. Munkel's question about 743.09, Mr. Ollendorff said that work on the <br />top part of the ramp was done a couple of years ago, but this is to resurface the bottom <br />part that did not need to be replaced. <br /> <br />26.70 STREET LIGHTING DIVISION: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff reported no major changes. The electric bill has been a little lower for the <br />last few months. <br /> <br />35.10 PARK MAINTENANCE, ADMINISTRATION AND FORESTRY: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff directed Council to 729.11 Tree Maintenance, where he pointed out that we <br />would be spending twice what was budgeted this year on tree trimming. Next year we are <br />doubling the budget. Mr. Rose is working on a study of what our real needs are and we <br />will probably need even more money than this. Mr. Rose explained that we did a quick <br />study, but that a more dependable census is being planned. A grant was received for this <br />study. The initial census indicated that we had over 30,000 trees. 732.01 Agricultural <br />Supplies, is the budget for new and replacement trees. Last year we had quite a few grants <br />to pay for the tree plantings. This budget will need to be increased by about $5,000. They <br />will try to get the money for the Olive Street improvement from IDA, before using general <br />fund money. Responding to Mr. Munkel, Mr. Ollendorff said that a consultant was hired in <br />1989 to come up with a planting plan for this area. The plan called for some ornamental <br />and flowering trees and then some growth, shade trees. Responding to Mr. Lieberman, Mr. <br />Ollendorff said we have virtually no Green Center costs now. The only thing that is done is <br />a little bit of mowing and some of the utilities are being paid out of park administration. <br />Mr. Lieberman mentioned the report from the Park Director noting the Green Center costs <br />of $13,700. Mr. Ollendorff said that most of this was a one time cost for a contract to clear <br />out all the brush last summer. <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br /> <br />
