Mr. Ollendorff noted a decrease in 714.00 Overtime, which is mostly for evening and weekend inspections for overcrowding; a police officer has now been assigned to do this with greater success. Under Contractual Services, 721.02 is for computer program- ming. On page C-49, 729.10 Miscellaneous Other Operating Services has been significantly increased to allow for more demolitions. In response to Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Ollendorff said information in the computer system may be shared to a certain extent among the Police, Fire, and Planning Departments. He said he would get more information on that. Also, Administrative Services will hook into the system. Mr. Ollendorffsaid many of the overcrowding reports come directly from citizens. Most of the capital outlay in this department is for computer equipment, both new and replacement. 2660 Sanitation (page C-52. The City Manager said the large increases here are all related to the recy- cling program. Under Contractual Services, 721.10 lVliscellaneous Outside Personal Services covers 6-7 daily temporary workers to collect the recyclables 3-4 days a week, and funds to pay those who operate the facility. Two people were hired this year and will also be part of next year's budget. It is hoped that it will be about a break-even proposition, that is, the recycling and increase in voter-approved refuse rates will even out. In response to Mr. Wagner, Mr. Ollendorff said he did not know how many of the temporary workers were from University City since the hiring agency is in St. Louis, but would try to find out. There was brief discussion about 727.03 Rental of Central Garage Equipment, and Mr. Ollendorffnoted that part of this account includes money for vehicle replacement. 2670 Street Lighting ~age C-56). Mr. Ollendorffsaid 725.02 Electricity will be slightly less next year because of the new City owned lights in the Civic Plaza, which cuts down the number rented from Union Electfie. Mr. Ollendorffnoted about 3/4 of the UE lights adjacent to the new ones are not working. 3510 Park Malntenar!ce. Administration, and Forestry (page C-58). Deputy City Manager Trombly circulated a new organization chart for the Park Department showing the new positions and reallocation of positions.which is reflected in 711.10 Regular Employee Pay. An increase in 714.00 Overtime Pay is for additional snow removal. Under 721.10 Miscellaneous Outside Personal Services, the small in- crease is for temporary workers to assist in tree removals. Part of the increase in 725.02 Electricity is for adding lighting at Fogarty Park. Increases are also shown for 725.04 Water and 725.05 Sewer which reflects what is being spent this year. The amount for 726.10 Miscellaneous Repairs and Maintenance is for a contract to do an aeration process at Heman Park. Under 732.03 Chemicals, there are additional funds for ice melt for the special sidewalks. On page C-60, 743.08 will fund an expanded computer sys- tem for park personnel to share information. On page C-61, 743.12 Recreation Equipment is for playground equipment at Greensfelder Park. 3520 Golf Course (pag!~ C-63). Mr. OllendonTpointed out there were no funds in 714.00 Overtime for next year because of the change to use of contractual labor, which is shown in 721.10 Miscellaneous Outside Personal Services. There is a decrease here as well since the golf pro gets a salary plus money based on how much people play. He noted a significant increase in 726.10 Miscellaneous Repairs and
