City Manager Steve Schwabauer stated that it is currently more cost effective to hire an outside
company to assist City staff rather than hiring new staff and purchasing new equipment, which
would only be utilized on a part-time basis. Council Member Mounce said that, while she
understands, she supports providing City services with in-house City staff and creating
employment opportunities.
Public Works Director Charles Swimley explained staff is trying to accommodate all of the new
development, but the department cannot keep up with the current level of service. This contract
will act as a supplement only to bridge the gap between current date and the time when it is
feasible to hire another sweeper.
Council Member Chandler suggested making scheduling and route modifications in order to allow
City staff to complete all of the work.
Mr. Mike Lusk, member of the public, provided public comment, supporting City staff performing
street sweeping work rather than a contactor and asking if developers are being held responsible
for sweeping the streets.
Deputy City Manager Andrew Keys responded that the developers are responsible for cleaning
streets during the development phase and that this contact is for on-going street sweeping post-
development. Public Works Director Swimley noted that the builders cleaning the streets are also
part of the NPDES requirements.
