This category is projected to increase $50,850 in 2000, and part of <br />the reason for this increase is the addition of another 1h time employee. The <br />city is going to hire a full time employee that will be shared between the ice <br />arena and the streets department in 2000. <br /> <br />The city has a combined street/park department where employees work on <br />streets, snow removal, parks, athletic fields, and to a lesser degree, on <br />outdoor ice rinks, the shade tree program, and at the library. Additionally, <br />two full time employees are assigned to the equipment services program. <br />Excluding this equipment repair and maintenance program, about 63 percent <br />of the total expenses for street/park employees is allocated towards streets. <br /> <br />As noted above, most of the budget increase is in personal services but the <br />largest expense and increase outside of personal services is in the contractual <br />services line item. This is for an additional seal coating, overlays, and street <br />painting services. <br /> <br />While no capital outlay expenditures are planned out of this general fund <br />budget, it should be noted that a $136,000 dump truck is scheduled to be <br />financed out of equipment reserves in 2000. Two more trucks are being <br />requested over the next three years. <br /> <br />38 <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
