Richardsonpj% SUBJECT: Request for TransfVfe of Funds oats April 16, 1473 - Solid Waste Bureau We are going to be asking for a transfer of funds in the amount of $45,000.00 for the Bureau of Solid Waste. According to the State statutes this can be done at one meeting without advertising and without concurrance of the State Board of Tax Commissioners since the overall gross budget is not being altared.. Since we have had a larger number of customers than what was anti- cipated, we have had to put six additional men to work in the Bureau. The costs for these six men, at a $150.00 per week for 38 weeks, is $34,200.00. I have asked for an additional $10,800.00 in overtime and extra help since we are finding that the initial cleanup of the City is taking more than 8 hours per day. We are also going to run into the problem of where we must pay our men for the Saturday clean- up-work and then wait to -be reimbursed through the billing procedure. We have no way of knowing, at this time, how much Saturday work we are going to have to pay for until the complaint and enforcement pro- cedure is ironed out. Quite frankly, we are doing the best right now to keep our heads above water and haven't given much consideration to the special complaints that we know are going to be coming in. I am asking reductions in Landfill Costs, Municipal Services Facility, Water Works-and Motor Equipment. I fully expect that before August lst, that these funds are going to have to be reimbursed from the cash received from customers. I am not asking for this reimbursement, at this time, since theoretically we have no money in the Solid Waste Fund. It will also be easier to appropriate the money from the Solid Waste Fund into these other accounts and keep them separate from the Revenue Sharing Funds, by doing it this way. One word of caution, there is every indication that before too many more months, there is a good possibility that we might have to put even more men to work, if our rate of customers increase continues at its present pace. Members of the Common Council Page 2 April 16, 1973 ._ The one big fear I had about the whole program has come to bear and that is, tardy orders for the service. We are still picking up a substanial amount of customers per week and it does take us, at least, 2 weeks to process the requests and get them through the computer center and onto the route listings for the men in the field. The best I can project right now is that we are in for a chaotic 3 months until the system rights itself and we have some concrete experience. I will say that I am very happy with the way Mr. Kolalzar and Mr. Wells are handling the situation and quite frankly, we are all in good hands with both of them. If there are any questions concerning this request please call me. cc: Mayor Jerry J.
