He noted that between the four funds that there will be approximately one half million dollars spent less in 1995 than in 1994. He noted that Bureau of Sewers day to day operations was taken over by Mr. Hensley in 1993. In personnel it was noted that six new people mainly Equipment Operator II's are being proposed to help clean sewers. He also noted that OR (Organic Resources)is down by two people. The number of salaried positions will stay the same as the current year. In response to a question raised by Council Member Coleman, it was noted that there are approximately 400 miles of sewers in the City of South Bend. They have not been jet vacuumed( using high-powered water) to reduce sediment buildup. Mr. Leszczynski noted that the overall project will take 2 1/2 years to go through the entire system and that the trunk lines will be cleaned thoroughly.
