Page 2 - Bureau of Sanitation Budget Line Item Explanation - 1977 243.0 Photographing & Blueprinting 400.00 (1976 - $150.00) Purchase of film and camera supplies used in keeping visual records of sewers and work areas. Also used in Sludge Farm data comparison. Also additional purchase of video tape and film used for sewer inspection truck. 252.0 Equipment Repair 13,000.00 (1976 - $12,000.00) Although most maintenance and re- pair work is done in -house for the Bureaus of Sanitation and Wastewater, there are repair problems that we are not equipped to handle. Also, in the area of equipment modification we need outside assistance. 260.0 Other Contractual Services 12,000.00 (1976 - $14,000.00) Through the funding of the account we are able to accomplish tasks that we might otherwise be too limited to handle. During construction season the ability to lease replace- ment or specialty equipment can mean the difference between completing a job in a successful manner on time, or not doing so. Also during con- struction projects there are areas of work which we are better off subcontracting to specialists, i.e. concrete work, landscaping. This account also gives us the ability to work specialized equipment at the Sludge Farm which we feel is not cost productive as a purchase. 312.0 Fuel Oil 2,000.00 (1976 - $3,000.00) Through this account we purchase the necessary diesel fuel to run our diesel equipment - two diesel tractors, one diesel backhoe, one diesel W20 Case Loader and one Detroit diesel dewatering pump. 321.0 Gasoline 27,000.00 (1976 - $24,000.00) Provide operating fuel for all motor- ized equipment in the Bureaus of Sanitation and Wastewater - 30 trucks, 6 automobiles, and 20 other gasoline powered pieces of equipment.
