MEMORANDUM, City of Lodi, Public Works Department
TO: City Manager
City Council
FROM: Public Works Director
DATE: June 17, 1993
SUBJECT: Supplemental Budget Material for the Public Works Department
Attached is some supplemental budget material which may be helpful in
evaluating and reviewing the overall Public Works budget. The Public
Works budget is found on Pages 32 through 35 and the Sewer and Water
Utility Funds are shown on Pages 42 through 44 in the City's 1993/94
recommended budget.
, The attachment includes the following infor,:ation:
1. the Public Works Department's Mission and Value Statements
2. The Mission Statements for each Division
3. Sheets from our Department's 1993/94 Operations and
Maintenance budget submittal which includes:
°A complete description of each Public Works account found
in the City's printed budget
°A detailed description of all increases and decreases
included in the account
°A comparison of 1992/93 and 1993/94 budget requests
a. A memo from the Street Superintendent describing how we
would continue to provide adequate street sweeping with the
elimination of one employee in the 10-503.07 Street Cleaning
Account. This proposal will provide street sweeping in
residential areas on a monthly basis with only minor
reductions in other areas and increased sweeping on arterial
streets. The proposal will also provide better sweeping
results in many areas due to a regular sweeping schedule;
i.e., certain day of each month (versus every 12 working
days). This could make an appreciable difference in the
eastside area or other areas that experience high street
parking demands. This memo can be found behind the
10-503.07 Street Cleaning Account, on pages 25 through 29.
I am hopeful that this
Public Works budget.

The Engineering Division is responsible for planning, designing, constructing and
mapping the City's street. water, wastewater and drainage systems in conformance with
the General Pian and as specifically outlined in the City's Capital Improvement
Program. The Division also provides engineering services for other City departments,
mainly Parks and Recreation Department. Such work is either done in-house or by outside
consultants depending on the scope of the project.
The majority of projects are constructed under the formal bidding process. This
necessitates the preparation of specifications and contract documents, contract
administration and inspection.
100 Series
There is an overall increase in this series of $18,920 due to:
a) Overtime (103) increased $2,470 due to estimated usage based on 1992/93
actual data.
b) $6,075 in Administrative Leave Pay (110) was added.
c) The balance of $10,375 is due to step increases and promotions and
adjustments in fringe benefits.
300 Series
There is an overall increase in this series of $260 due to:
a) Materials and Supplies (307) shows an apparent $3,150 increase because it now
includes Special Department Materials (352), Photo Supplies (354) and General
Supplies (355), per the Budget Preparation Manual. Small Tools and Equipment

combined 1992/93 functions are compared with the 1993/94 Materials and Supplies

MEMORANDUM, City o. nodi, Public Warks Department
TO: Public Works Director
FROM: Street Superintendent
DATE: June 15, 1993
SUBJECT: Reduction in Street Cleaning Due to Budget Restraints
This proposal is in response to necessary budget reductions that the City of Lodi is facing for
Fiscal Year 1993-94.
Existing Program:
Currently the Street Cleaning Program consists of two employees, one operates the sweeper
and the other cleanup truck. The downtown area is swept three times a week, and the
residential areas are swept once every twelve working days. The arterial streets (attached) are
swept when the district they coincide with is swept. Public parking lots are swept on an as
nec ded basis, usually once a week. Alleys in the downtown area are swept once a week, and
alleys that are nct ;•1 the downtown area are swept biannually. The City of Lodi also sweeps
•he State highways .acluding on and off ramps biannually, for which we are reimbursed.
Duri,ig leaf pickup season the residential areas are swept every ten working days. The
cleartup',uck's duties are fsted on pages 2 & 3.
Recommendation:
That the City's street sweeping program be modified to include a revised sweeping schedule
::old elimination of the cleanup truck's operations.
Revised Street Sweeping Schedule
The following table outlines our existing street sweeping schedule. The proposed schedule
takes into account the elimination of the cleanup truck.

With the proposed elimination of the cleanup truck, it will be necessary to reduce the size of
the sweeper districts. It is anticipated that 15 or 16 sweeper districts will be required. There
are now 12 districts. Some advantages to this proposal are that sweeping the districts would
be scheduled consistently, such as: District 1, the first Monday of the month, every month.
This consistent and regular schedule, together with more publicity, could help reduce the
number of parked vehicles in the scheduled districts without the cost of installing and
maintaining neighborhood signs. Another advantage is that arterial streets would be swept
more often. One disadvantage to this proposal is that residential streets would be swept once
a month instead of 1.8 times per month. However, overall appearance may improve especially
on the Eastside because the simpler schedule would be easier to remember and also easier to
publicize.

MEMORANDUM, City of _.,di, Public Works Department
June 15, 1993
Page 2
Elimination of Cleanup Truck
This proposal would eliminate a full-time position and the service provided by the position.
Elimination of this service would mean that downtown sidewalks would no longer be swept by
hand and parking lots would not be inspected daily. The elimination of this position will require
reassigning someone to respond to emergency calls. The cleanup truck would still be
scheduled to operate four montns per year during the leaf season cleanup.
The projected savings to the Street Cleaning account is approximately $26,800 in
salarylbenefit costs. Savings would also be realized in vehicle maintenance and operation
costs. The total savings to the City is the cost of a full-time position. ($39,000)
During leaf season (October through January) residential streets would be swept every ten
working days with the assistance of the cleanup truck. Additional crews will continue to be
reassigned in November and December. A second sweeper would be added part-time to
insure the districts are swept on schedule.
The following is a list of duties of the cleanup truck operator and how these duties will be
handled under this proposal:
EXISTING
Pick up piles dumped in the district by the
sweeper.
Pick up piles in advance of sweeper
Clear limbs obstructing regulatory, warning
and informational signs, also low limbs
obstructing sweeper and pedestrians.
Check business district every morning and
pick up debris (including days sweeper
does not sweep area)_ Clean around all
trash containers and hand sweep
downtown sidewalks.
Check downtown, Civic Center area and
City parking lots.
Spray weeds in City parking lots and public
right-of-way.
Check business district trash containers
daily. Replace lids as needed. Empty
containers that overflow other than on pick
up nays. Sanitary City picks up Tuesday
and Friday.
OF93SR 09

PROPOSED
Sweeper will be required to travel to dump
sites at MSC or Sanitary City.
This service will be eliminated, property
owners will not be allowed to placti piles of
leaves in the street. (Except durinp leaf
season)
Tree crew will be assigned the majority of
this work.
Property owner will be responsible to
maintain their frontage. City will respond to
hazards such as broken glass.
Sweeper operator will monitor while doing
the downtown routes. City will respond to
reported hazards when operator is not in
the area.
Schedule maintenance crews as needed.
Schedule maintenance crews as needed.

PROPOSED
Water downtown planters and medians on Install more efficient time clock for planters

California, Monday, Wednesday. and not working).
Friday.
Hand sweep around downtown planters. Schedule maintenance crews as needed.
Report abandoned vehicles. Sweeper operator.
Operate sweeper in relief of operator. Schedule maintenance crews as needed.
Summary:
The most significant service level reduction is reduced residential sweeping and the elimination
of the clearnip truck for approximately eight months of the year. The duties of the cleanup
operator would be absorDsd by maintenance crews, the tree crew, the sweeper operator and
property owners or merchants.
A recent telephone survey (attached) revealed that half of the cities surveyed are on a once a
month schedule for sweeping residential streets, and very few run a cleanup truck.

Amount Requested: 1992-93 $369,985 1993-94 $393,460
Explain increases/decreases:
100 Series - Increase of $10,675 due to an increase of $7,000 in Code 101 resulting
from increased activity in the maintenance function based on actual
expenditures during previous and current fiscal years; budgeting
additional funds for corrosion testing of non -galvanized streetlight
standards and a wage increase. The remainder of the increase is due
to increases of $2,590 in fringe benefits and $1,085 in Code 198.
200 Series - Increase of $4,100 due to a net increase in consumption resulting from
an increase in number of luminaires, but offset by the energy savings
realized from the conversion program. Additionally, a portion of the
increase can be attributed to budgeting electrical energy for fiscal
year 1992-93 at $0.092/kwhr. as ccmpared to the rate of 50.09256/kwhr.
being used for preparation c.f tris budget and actually billed this
fiscal year ($1,873). The estimated yearly energy consumption is
3.349 Gwhr.
300 Series - No change.
500 Series - Increase of $8,700 due to an increase of $8,200 in Code 507 resulting
from increased costs of luminaires, lamps, etc. (approximately
310/unit); higher cost per unit of conversion material for the
concrete type standards (approximately $20/unit) - 60 units of this
type of streetlight are scheduled for conversion in this budget, and
budgeting funds for materials associated with the corrosion testing.
The remainder of the increase is $300 in Code 513 and $200 in Code
519, both based on estimates of material needed for the corrosion
testing program.
This budget includes estimated costs of labor and material for conversion of the
streetlighting system to high pressure sodium in the following areas:
