REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 3 ONJ�DDS STAFF REPORT Report Number: �C MIu° AGENDA SESSION DATE 3 U L Y 1 , 1 9 91 Report Date: 6/27/91 DISPOSITION Item Description: 1991 SPRING CLEAN UP REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES Administrator's Review/Recommendation: - No comments to supplement this report - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; The 1991 Spring Clean-Up Day revenues and expenditures are listed below. Consistent with the history of this program, expenditures far exceeded revenues. REVENUE: Fees $ 6,441.10 Budgeted Amount $ 5,000.00 TOTAL $ 11,441.10 EXPENDITURES: Goodwill Industries $ 186.50 ARCA/MN (appliances) $ 600.00 Aspen, Inc. (brush) $ 2,850.00 Maust (tires) $ 597.75 Container Service (general disposal) S11,906.12 SUBTOTAL $16,140.37 STAFF WAGES: $ 797.89 TOTAL EXPENDITURES $16,938.26 PROFIT/LOSS: ($5,497.16) The fees were raised in 1991 in anticipation of increased expenditures. However, this action did not provide sufficient revenue to offset the substantial loss. The history of a significant loss each year suggests that the program be examined as to its merit, purpose and possible alternative courses of action. One alternative is to require garbage haulers to provide special pick-up services. The future of this program and possible alternatives needs to be explored at the July 1st Work Session. The 1991 budget provided only $5,000 for Spring Clean Up. The fees collected brought the total revenues to $11,441.10 -- a difference of $4,699.27 (staff wages are excluded) . In order to pay for the total expenditures, it is necessary for Council to authorize a fund transfer (from the Contingency Fund) at the July 8th meeting. RECOMMENDATION; Samantha CiSY Administrator
