Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilwoman Garcia, to approve Resolution No. 4485. Unanimous vote. Community Services Streets/Refuse City Manager Elliott stated the Refuse Superintendent will soon be retiring and he is proposing that the Street and Refuse Divisions be combined under the Streets Superintendent, eliminating the position of Refuse Superintendent at a cost saving of $30,000 total compensation. Discussion followed. The Council will refer back to this matter on Page 390. r Council discussed Traffic Stripping and Street Sweeping. Mr. Charles Hatfield made a recommendation that the City secure a new sweeper to replace the old Wayne Sweeper, stating that this would enable that division to initiate a regular bi-monthly street (y) sweeping program for residential areas and three times a week on the main arterials. 7 Q Discussion followed on purchasing vs leasing of a new sweeper. Staff will look fur - Q ther into the interest involved over a 5 year program. Council will refer back to Page 405. Refuse Council discussed residents' request for twice a week refuse pickup and their willingness to pay more fees for this service. Staff reported on the Gann initia- tive and taking a look at a five-year recovery program at a later date. City Manager Elliott stated the initiative does allow for raising rates according to the CPI. Parks Discussion was held on additional personnel needed in this division and the possibi- lity of absorbing the custodians into this division, should the City contract out for custodial services. Mr. Castorena, Parks Superintendent, stressed the City's growth factor and the fact that the number of men in his division has not grown, and therefore, his men can cover only so much area. Mr. Castorena asked Council to consider the Stump Grinder on Page 465. City Manager Elliott stated that he would like to see the Council instead consider a type of Weedeater that can be attached to an existing tractor that will trim many of the problem shrubs in the City, such as, the oleanders on Colton Avenue and the "C" Underpass. On Council consensus the sum of $10,000 was added to Page 465 for the Farm Trim (Weedeater). Mr. Castorena asked that Item 5. on Page 467 be deleted. Mr. Castorena asked Council to consider Item 1. on Page 467, $1,000 for a heating/ air conditioning unit for the Parks' employees locker room. After much discussion, Council added the $1,000 request. City Yards City Manager Elliott made a recommendation that the sum of $21,500 be budgeted to purchase a portable paint booth. Mr. Elliott stated the City's existing paint booth has not been used in quite some time because it does not comply with CAL - OSHA. Mr. Elliott said the portable concept is presented because, if and when the new City yards are built, the unit could be moved. Mr. Elliott stated $16,000 is already budgeted, therefore, an addition of $5,500 is needed. Council will look at Page 472 again. JUN 2 61984
