Form B-3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR PERSONAL SERVICE CHANGES <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Department: <br /> <br />Public Services <br />Supervisor: <br /> <br />Tim Payne <br />Position Title: <br />Street Maintenance Worker <br />Budget Impact: $78,205 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Justification for change: <br /> <br />The Streets Department is responsible for 215 lane miles of roads, 14 parking lots, 186 cul-de- <br />sacs, 2,020 street signs, 2,317 catch basins, and 1,420 storm outlets. Typical maintenance <br />tasks include pothole patching, asphalt repairs, street sweeping, crosswalk painting, ditch <br />mowing, right-of-way maintenance, tree trimming, stormwater system maintenance, and snow <br />and ice management operations. <br /> <br />The City has experienced significant growth during the past two decades, resulting in additional <br />infrastructure to inspect, maintain, and repair. Approval of the additional FTE will get the Streets <br />Department back to 2006 staffing levels. <br /> <br />Snow and ice management is a critical service provided and is perhaps the most visible (along <br />with highest expectations from residents) function within the Public Services Department. As <br />residential development growth continues, keeping the level of maintenance workers status quo <br />will continue to increase the time is takes to complete snowplowing operations. With current <br />staffing levels and equipment, it now takes the Public Services Department approximately 8 <br />hours to plow all city streets (Any dump trucks/loader breakdowns add to this time significantly). <br />Our goal is to reduce the plowing time closer to six hours. <br /> <br />The Streets Department would also be able to improve/expand the essential services listed <br />above. <br /> <br /> <br />82
