E1 F Mr. Hutton stated, inasmuch as no new personnel were allocated, it is planned to take one of the current full time persons in the Park Division and provide an educational process to obtain the needed know how for the parks irrigation systems. Councilwoman. Cisneros asked for clarification on the assignment of work for the four part-time persons. Councilwoman Cisneros asked if they would be assigned to do just park cleanup or will they also be assigned other work. Mr. Hutton stated it is intended that they would only be assigned to take care of the Parks and not other areas. Mr. Castorena inquired about a correction needed on Page 482, Account 17, Uniforms. City Manager Elliott pointed out that Page 482, should indicate a Department Request of $1,425 and a Manager Recommendation of $1,050. Auto Shops Mr. Hutton reported that the Automotive Superintendent has retired, however, this position is not to be filled until the completion of the Employee Classi- fication Study. Mr. Hutton requested that a temporary person be hired in the interim to help pick up the slack and keep the rolling stock in working condition. City Manager. Elliott stated that he felt he has authority to handle this type of personnel matter and recommended that this be worked out at the staff level. Mr. Hutton reported on Page 530 a request was made for a sky light to help the poor lighting situation in the auto shop area. Mr. Hutton said this would also reduce the electrical usage. City Manager Elliott stated that he deleted this because the City is still in the process of studying the possibility of relocating the City Yards. Staff indicated a correction on Page 520, Uniforms, should reflect the amount of $500.00 instead of $300.00. Water Utility Water Superintendent, Mr. Lyons, said his division is in dire need of an addi- tional man, one who can perform as Inspector/Cross-Connection Serviceman. Mr. Lyons stated this position would enforce the installation of backflow -devi- ces at all required services and would free the City from the continuation of chlorination required by the State Health Department. Mr. Lyons said the sav- ings in chlorination would pay for the position. Mr. Lyons reported that another position on Page 534, Maintenance Man I was deleted and this position could very well be paid by the collection of service charges in connection with the backflow devices. Mr. Lyons said the devices are currently being tested privately for $50.00 each. City Manager Elliott responded that the Water Utility is currently being sub- sidized considerably from various other funds. Mr. Hutton stated the Community Services Department encompasses the largest manned organization of the City and the quality of.services provided by each of the divisions is all going to depend upon the availability of manpower, and at some point in time, the City is going to have to consider additional personnel to continue the quality of service. Reservoirs Mr. Hutton said the amount of $500,000 will cover the necessary engineering design work, site work, road improvement and water main extension for a 3 million gallon water reservoir *ntecito), to be located off of Reche Canyon Road. Mr. Hutton stated this will implement the Water Master Plan in the Cooley Ranch and Mohave area, which was pointed out as being deficient by 4 million gallons of storage water. L JUIN 18 1985
