Russo,City Manager FROM: Susan Simpson, Cultural and Community Services Dire DATE: September 8, 2014 RE: FY 2014-2015 Budget Requests After our recent discussion regarding the Parks Division expansion,we should consider the purchase of a pick-up truck this fiscal year in preparation of the opening of Gateway Park. With. the opening of Gateway Park and the addition of staff,another 4 wheel drive,pick-up truckafith hitch and lights,Is required for optimal efficiency. Currently 18 employees share 6 trucks and one MV. We are getting by at this rate but there are efficiency losses with employees shuttling other employees to work locations,trash transport,etc. By mid fiscal year,the number of employees will increase to a total of 21,inclusive of one Parks Manager. A 7th truck would streamline some work activity and allow for the occasions when vehicles need maintenance. Keep in mind that this Is a 7 day per week operation so vehicles are utilized every day and there Is no available time for vehicle maintenance. This would require an increase to the proposed budget,account number 10.577.5642 (Vehicles),of$25,000.00. This Is only the 3'a new vehicle requested by the Parks Division. The ,original four were inherited from Public Works end 2 new were purchased in FY 12/13. Additionally,a page of Capital Request items was prepared but not included In the proposed budget due to an oversight. The Excel document contained 2 sheets in which only one was picked up during the budget input process. Sheet one(attached)listed hems totaling$33,600 to lover the following: 440 linear feet of fence for the basketball court under the William Lehman, 1 Children's sculpture for the park, 10 shelving units for the storage area at Heritage Park, 7 Blinds for the windows at Pelican Park,4 hand dryers to eliminate the use of paper towels in parks restrooms,and 12 trash can lids. Of these,we can remove the Children's Sculpture at $3,500 as that was subsequently purchased this fiscal year. The remaining items total$30,100 and are currently unfunded. If possible,I request that these Items be added back Into the FY 14-15 final budget These two items together would result In a total budget increase to the 577 Parks Maintenance account of$55,100.
