An Ordinance Amending the 1995 Refuse Fund Budget SUBMITTED BY Jerry Copeland, Director of Public Works -- )0 Nancy Gaudette, Refuse and Recycling Manager � 7 CONTACT PERSON /TELEPHONE. Nancy Gaudette 576 -6421 SUMMARY EXPLANATION A review of the 1995 Refuse Budget reveals the year -end estimated expenditures will be over expended by approximately $34,210. A number of issues have contributed to expenditure increases. ilk he yard waste collection program has been very successful. Two permanent employees using o separate vehicles have been assigned to collect the 2,500 containers set out throughout the Utilizing these two employees for the nine month yard service program means that all available budgeted refuse positions, including temporary positions, are being used in normal operations. The Refuse Division regularly experiences a large amount of leave usage among permanent employees. The temporary positions are budgeted to provide coverage during authorized leave of permanent employees. By not having adequate positions funded, temporary salaries, overtime, social security and industrial insurance line items are being over expended by approximately $10,504.

City Manager STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve ordinance •OARD /COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION COUNCIL ACTION First Reading: 11/07/95 Page 2 In 1995 the Refuse Division suffered the death of Crew Leader Gary Gray This loss has had a • big impact on the Division. Out of Class pay had to be paid and temporary employees had to be used until permanent staff was hired. Gary had a large amount of sick leave and annual leave accrued. It was paid out as retirement cashout in the amount of $12,235 and excess compensation at retirement at $5,471 These were unbudgeted. We have experienced a 3.5% increase in tonnage collected in 1995. This is due to additional services being collected due to annexations and the success of the yard waste collection program. This increase means landfill charges for 1995 will be approximately $5,000 over the budgeted amount. The Refuse Division has been a cperiencing equipment breakdowns throughout 1995. Backup equipment is being used as front line equipment and no additional equipment is available to cover routes. We have therefore been renting equipment from outside agencies. Funding for these rentals have been unbugeted. The Outside Repair and Maintenance line items will be over expended by approximately $1,000. We are attempting to reduce expenditures as much as possible in all areas. However the savings will not off -set the anticipated increases. Staff requests Council approval of the attached ordinance to supplement the Refuse Budget by $34,210 from the unencumbered fund balance. . •
