PIEPIORANDUPI Item 5.5. TO: Pat Klaers, City Administrator FROM: Phil Hals, Street/Park Superintendent DATE: March 22, 2004 SUBJECT: Consider Changing Building Cleaning Program It is my recommendation to hire 4 persons to work 20 hours per week as cleaners. Their work schedule will be from 4:00 am to 8:00 am, five days per week. The employees will be supervised by the building maintenance assistant and would clean City Hall, the Public Safety Building, Lions Park Center, Wastewater Treatment Plant, Fire Hall and the Street Department. The cleaners would be paired, 2 working the Public Safety Building, 2 doing City Hall and Lions Park Center and A1 Pudlick doing floors. The Library will remain as contracted cleaning in the short term. We will adjust the cleaning program if Utilities decide to be included. The building maintenance assistant ',viii work 4:00 am to 12:30 pm. This schedule will permit the assistant to provide daily supervision for the cleaners from 4:00 am to 8:00 am and then be available to assist with other building maintenance projects from 8:00 am until 12:30 pm. The early shift for the cleaners will also provide help with snow removal on sidewalks during the winter season. Building lock down service after evening meetings can be provided by split shifting the assistant on those days so his/her workday for meeting days would be 4:00 am to 8:00 am and then 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Other possibilities are to have Gary Lore do the lock down duties on occasion or I can do it after meetings that I attend. While this proposed schedule may not be the "norm" for industry standards, we believe it will serve our needs for City building cleaning. If this cleaning schedule proves ineffective at some point in time, we can always adjust it.
