Session 1642, M/~ Page 2 May 17, 1995 p~vent ~vexc~owdir~. Mrs. Schuman asked about the status of the strategic plan for D~rstdale Subdivision. Mr. Ollendorff said it was ptfc on hold ~ porarily while the budget was being drawn up, but a factor affecting the plan is the planned move of St. Joseph's Institute for the Deaf, which found ~ plying with ADA requir~mmY~ and renovating their building would cost almost as much as a new facility. Mr. Ollendorff said car allowances for ir~rs using their own cars will be increased. He also noted an increase in 729.10 Miscellaneous Other Operating Services, which pays for demolitions. 2660 Sanitation (page C-50). Mr. Ollendorff said $630 should be added to the amount next year for 723.04 Printing, which will pay for informational decals on alley dumpsters. He called attention to a large increase in 732.04 Clean- ing and Sanitation (page C-52) which is for additional refuse containers so sc~e will be o~ hand when they are ncccled. The amotu-~ under 749.98 Reserve Expendi~ ($300,000) is the lump sum for the recycling program (a detailed budget will done later). 2670 Street Lighting (Daqe C-54). Mr. Ollendorff said this budget bm~ no changes. Resp~/n~ to Mr. Cotton, he said most of the street lights belong to Union Electric; the only exceptions are some in the parks and in neighbor- hoods with histDric lights. Brief discussion en~_ed regarding the difficulty in getting Union Electric to respond promptly when lights are reported out. 3510 Park Main~J~nce. Administration. and Forestry (page C-56). Mr. Ollen- dorff referred to 725.02 Electricity which shows an increase for 1995-96, re- flecting additional lights in Heman Park. Regarding tree trimming (729.11), about 3500 a lamar should be trimmed (2800 by City, rest oontracted out) to stay on an eight-year cycle; hc~ever, City crews have trLmmed only 718 so far this year, and a study is being made to see if all tree trimming should be contracted out as that would seem to be much less expensive. Mr. Ollendorff said a decision would be rode in a few months. Mrs. Schuman noted that tree trimming was i¢lentified as one area that should be expanded as the City can afford it. Mr. Olle~dorff referred to 732.01 Agricultural Supplies (trees) which does not show an increase; however, City Forester Norma Bonham b~ ob- tained several grants so more trees will be planted. 3520 Golf Course (page C-61). It was noted that tb~ 1994-95 and 1995-96 to- tals for (k~m~ties were incorrect, and sb~mald be $51,244 and $49,470, re- spectively. Mr. OlleDd_orff said maintenance was greatly increased this year and will be kept at the same level next year. 3530 Recreatio~ (page C-65). Mr. Ollendorff said there were major increases in recreation this year that will be continued next year. After school pro- grams will increa~_~e and there will be a new s~_r playground site at Delmar- Harvard. He n~ued that $15,000 was alloted to 742.10 Miscellaneous Improve- merits ( _ur~e__~r Capital Outlay) to be available for programs that arise. Mayor Majerus pointe~ out the total ur~_er Oontractual Services for 1994-95 was in- correct. Mr. Ollendorff said it probably will be necessary at scme point in the future to expand the recreation staff. 3540 Ommma~ity Center (Dage C-68). Mr. Ollendorff said $11,000 was budgeted for roof repair. He said the Center is an asset, hc~ever, it costs $105,000
