Activities / Level of Service Change with loss of a Full-Time Position <br /> <br /> Snow plowing <br /> Every person in Public Works Maintenance is assigned to a piece of <br />equipment (three plow trucks, loader, two skidsteer loaders, two pick- <br />up plow trucks, tractor, two snow blowers). <br /> It takes 7 to 8 hours to plow after a snow event with current staffing <br />levels. A loss of a person would require 8 to 9 hours to complete the <br />plowing, which then invokes over-time pay. <br /> Increasing plow time increases fatigue and elevates the probability of <br />an accident. <br /> During back-to-back snow events, selected pathways and skating rinks <br />may not be plowed. <br /> The fleet mechanic is included in the plowing activities. In the event a <br />piece of equipment is in need of service, the remaining plow crew must <br />take over the fleet mechanic’s route. <br /> <br /> Hydrant painting <br /> City Hall Repairs - hanging shelves, changing light bulbs, painting, etc. <br /> Building maintenance <br /> Carpentry work <br /> Plumbing repairs <br /> Building mailboxes (gang post as required by ordinance) <br /> Sewer inspections <br /> Response to citizens <br /> Boulevard repairs (may not be done in a timely manner) <br /> Roadway maintenance – decrease the level of work to be done <br /> Tree trimming – to improve visibility (i.e. at intersections) <br /> Response to vandalism <br /> Properties not connected to City water – eliminate annual follow up <br />program <br /> Mowing and maintenance of City rental property <br /> Working with citizens groups to coordinate volunteer activities <br /> Elementary school tour and educational programs <br /> Court-ordered restitution program <br /> Fertilizing <br /> Some mowing <br /> Walkway / trails that are NOT connected to schools will not be plowed <br /> Some ball fields will not be maintained (i.e. Lambert, Oakwood, <br />Groveland, Hillview) <br /> Baseball games would need to be consolidated to the main fields <br /> Tree chipping <br /> Weed trimming <br /> Irrigation work (This would cause the athletic turf to suffer)
