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. The city also assists the public in control of tree diseases <br />on 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 />1998 BUDGET COMPARED WITH 1997 BUDGET <br />This departmental budget is: <br />Proposed in the amount of $11,600; <br />Identical to the adopted 1997 budget; <br />Less than 1% of the total general fund expenditures. <br />The personnel services category contains less than 1 percent of the total <br />street/park work crew time. The amount of actual time spent on shade tree <br />activities varies from year to year depending on reforestation activities and <br />the amount of time necessary for brush and tree clean up if a major storm <br />event takes place in the city. <br />The city has a somewhat passive shade tree program and this budget is a <br />very small part of the total city expenses. If a significant program is to be <br />undertaken, funds would have to come from the city council contingency <br />budget. <br />The operating supplies expense is for the purchase of additional trees to be <br />planted in the public boulevards and parks and for the replacement of dead <br />trees that are removed by the city. The equipment line item is for the rental <br />of a tree spade to plant trees and for the rental of a stump grinder that is <br />necessary after trees are removed. <br />SHADE TREE <br />PERSONAL SERVICES <br />Regular Pay <br />Employee Pensions <br />Employee Insurance <br />SUPPLIES <br />Operating Supplies <br />OTHER SERVICES & CHARGES <br />Equipment Rent <br />EXPENDITURE ANALYSIS <br />48. <br />47. <br />$3,450 <br />450 <br />700 $4,600 <br />5,000 51000 <br />2,000 2,000 <br />$11,600 <br />1995 <br />1996 <br />1997 <br />1998 <br />ACTUAL <br />ACTUAL <br />ADOPTED <br />PROPOSED <br />PERSONAL SERVICES <br />$4,699 <br />$642 <br />$4,250 <br />$4,600 <br />SUPPLIES <br />1,099 <br />4,347 <br />5,350 <br />5,000 <br />OTHER SERVICES & CHARGES <br />390 <br />379 <br />2,000 <br />2,000 <br />CAPITAL OUTLAY <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />TOTAL <br />$5,188 <br />$5,368 <br />$11,600 <br />$11,600 <br />PERSONAL SERVICES <br />Regular Pay <br />Employee Pensions <br />Employee Insurance <br />SUPPLIES <br />Operating Supplies <br />OTHER SERVICES & CHARGES <br />Equipment Rent <br />EXPENDITURE ANALYSIS <br />48. <br />47. <br />$3,450 <br />450 <br />700 $4,600 <br />5,000 51000 <br />2,000 2,000 <br />$11,600 <br />
