Personnel and Finance Committee September 11, 1997 Page 2 It was noted that the console is capable of 10 channels with 9 currently in use. This is a definite need in the capital budget in light of changing technologies. It is anticipated that the new lap top computers for the police vehicles will not be installed until early 1998. An update to the Council on this topic was requested once the bid package is accepting both to training and use of the computers as well as the timetable for installation. Council Member Coleman suggested that the members of the Labor/Management Committee, the Public Safety Chairperson and the Personnel and Finance Chairperson be kept informed. MOTOR VEHICLE HIGHWAY FUND NO. 202 STREET DEPARTMENT 1997 Revenues: $ 2.657.901 1997 Expenditures: $ 3.301.212 1998 Revenues: $ 2.984.400 1998 Expenditures: $ 3.452.363 Sam Hensley then reviewed the major changes anticipated for 1998 and the handouts. He noted that personnel reflects the 3 % salary increase. The state gasoline guidelines of 102% of the 1996 actual receipts generate the income for this fund. In 1996 2,300 blocks of alleys were addressed, in 1997, between 2,000 to 2,100 will be addressed. Local Road and Street (LRS) monies are used for street department materials (part of the capital budget in January), whereas operating, maintenance and personnel costs are from the motor vehicle highway (MVH) account. NO construction expenses are paid from MVH only maintenance. Mr. Hensley noted that the gap in financing affects asphalt. He stated that at current funding rates it would take 12 go 13 years to pave the entire city. The city will be using a "rejuvenator" material from the state of Utah to potentially add life to the pavement. It is anticipated that the normal life is 10-12 years, with the rejuenator added to go to 12 to 15 years. The first streets to have this will be Jacob and Sunnyside. No crack sealing has been done this year, with it to begin after Project Releaf. People will be hired from the Homeless Shelter, Hope Rescue and other agencies for Project Releaf at $ 6.25 to $ 6.50 per hour. Project Releaf will begin on October 27th in the SW quadrant. Mr. Hensley noted that the Street Department has used aid recipients from the Portage Township Trustee's office since 1988 with limited success. The city has been more successful in using individuals from the DuComb Center,the SLAP Program of the County Jail and the privately run Riverside Corrections Center. He noted that often it is the DuComb Center individuals who are shoveling sidewalks downtown. In response to a question raised by Council Member Broden, it was noted that the shortfall in the MVH fund is adjusted by the actual computation of 102% formula. President Kelly and Council Members Coleman and Pfeifer suggested that Mr. Hensley prepare a written update on the personnel utilized from the Trustee, the DuComb Center, the SLAP program and Riverside Correction Center for the formal budget hearing so that that information could be made public. Mr. Hensley noted that he cannot continue to provide personnel for Kathy Dempsey's Department. Mr.Littrell noted that MVH monies can only be used on public
