AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving an Additional Maintenance Worker III Position for the Street Division for the Purpose of Increasing Street Sweeping Frequency MEETING DATE: March 20, 2002 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution approving the addition of one Maintenance Worker III position for the Street Division of the Public Works Department for the purpose of increasing street sweeping frequency as directed by the City Council at their February 26, 2002 Shirtsleeve Session. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As approved in the current budget, at the February 26, 2002 Shirtsleeve Session, Council directed staff to prepare a staff report on doubling the frequency of sweeping City streets. In order to accomplish this, Council directed staff to proceed with the acquisition of a new street sweeper, the addition of a new full-time position to operate the sweeper, and the development of a long-term plan. The funds for this position are already budgeted for in the amount of $56,000. As this position has not been filled, and it is anticipated to start on April 1, 2002, the cost for the position on this budget will be approximately $26,000. The remainder of the $82,000 ($56,000) will be used toward the purchase of a new sweeper. Attached are the multi-year plan and the Sweeper Zone Map, with schedule, that reflect the increase in frequency requested by Council. The multi-year plan outlines the areas that will need to be considered over the next few years --parking, signing, and enforcement issues. The Sweeper Zone map will be published in the Lodi News -Sentinel and The Record, and will also be displayed, along with the schedule, on the City of Lodi Web Site in MapGuide.
