Memo <br />Common Council <br />Summer Weed Control Program <br />Page 2 <br />April 7, 1976 <br />While we have some flexibility with CETA funds to cover part <br />of these costs as we did last summer, we are under considerable legislative <br />and DOL administrative pressure to provide assurances that administrative <br />cost will be kept as low as possible and that priority will be placed on <br />wages, fringe benefits, and direct services. Consequently, I think we must <br />limit the CETA share of such supplies and expenses to no more than 15%. <br />It is the Mayors decision to request a program size roughly <br />equivalent to last summer. The requested funds will be used as follows: <br />Equipment Repair - All mowers and other cutting and <br />weed control equipment are in <br />constant use and frequently break <br />down. The funds appropriated will <br />be used to contract for such repair <br />services. <br />260 - <br />Specifically for rental of 8 trucks, <br />estimated at $10 /day and 10¢ /mile. <br />321 - <br />Gas for both trucks and lawnmowers. <br />370 - <br />Specifically for any and all supplies <br />and materials such as found on the <br />attached 1975 program budget. <br />430 - <br />Armature plates, spark plugs, wheels, <br />whips, etc. <br />726 - <br />Mowers, shoulder grass whips, and <br />other heavy duty weed control equip- <br />ment. The previous budget for this <br />item was very low and several new <br />mowers will need to be purchased. <br />
