SHADE TREE PROGRAM <br />--- Provides for the control and eradication of Dutch Elm and Oak Wilt <br />disease through the education of employees who identify diseased <br />trees and either treat or remove the trees that are located on public <br />property; assists the public in control of these tree diseases on <br />private property. <br />--- Provides for a tree replanting program to offset the diseased trees <br />that are removed in an effort to maintain the aesthetics of the <br />community. <br />1997 BUDGET COMPARED WITH 1996 BUDGET <br />This departmental budget is: <br />Proposed in the amount of $11,600; <br />Identical to the adopted 1996 budget; <br />Less than 1% of the total General Fund expenditures. <br />The personal services category contains 1% of the total street/park work crew <br />time. This is the same amount as in previous years. The operating supplies <br />expenditure is for the purchase of new trees for the city nursery and for new <br />trees in the public boulevards and parks. The equipment line item is for <br />rental of a tree spade to plant trees and for the rental of a stump grinder that <br />is necessary after trees are removed. <br />This is a very small tree planting and removal program. I£ a larger scale <br />program needs to be undertaken by the city, then this program may have to <br />be contracted out as there is insufficient time available from the street/park <br />crew to be doing a more complete reforestation program for the community. <br />Funding for a larger program would have to come from the Contingency fund <br />or reserves. <br />SHADE TREE <br />47. 1 48. <br />1994 <br />ACTUAL <br />1995 <br />ACTUAL <br />1996 <br />ADOPTED <br />1997 <br />PROPOSED <br />PERSONAL SERVICES <br />$375 <br />$4,699 <br />$4,100 <br />$4,250 <br />SUPPLIES <br />3,603 <br />1,099 <br />5,500 <br />5,350 <br />OTHER SERVICES & CHARGES <br />1,607 <br />390 <br />2,000 <br />2,000 <br />CAPITAL OUTLAY <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />TOTAL <br />$5,565 <br />$6,188 <br />$11,600 <br />$11.600 <br />EXPENDITURE ANALYSIS <br />PERSONAL SERVICES <br />Regular Pay 11 %) <br />..................................... <br />83,200 <br />Employee Pensions 11 %) <br />..................................... <br />400 <br />Employee Insurance (1 %) <br />..................................... <br />650 <br />$4,250 <br />SUPPLIES <br />Operating Supplies <br />..................................... <br />5,350 <br />5,350 <br />OTHER SERVICES & CHARGES <br />Equipment Rent <br />..................................... <br />2,000 <br />2,000 <br />$11,600 <br />47. 1 48. <br />
