City of Eugene OYEI Summer 2009 - Budget Narrative <br /> Personnel Expenses: $63,459.55 <br /> Project Oversight <br /> This summer the City of Eugene partnered with OYCC on two stimulus funded projects: trail <br /> building and maintenance, and waterway enhancement, which are both included in this grant. <br /> Several City staff were involved, including the program supervisor, who oversaw the program, <br /> monitored the budget, and dealt with all personnel issues. Three other City staff were directly <br /> involved with the day by day operation of the work taking place. Two of those staff were <br /> recording their time against the project and the third staff person did not. The supervisor and <br /> the third staff person put in over 200 hours that were not charged against the OYCC contract. <br /> Of the two City leads on the program, the trail- building lead spent 213 hours working along <br /> with the corps members over a 13 -week period at a rate of $19.73 per hour. The waterway <br /> lead spent 44 hours guiding the work of the other six corps members over 9 -week period at a <br /> rate of $20.64 per hour. These two lead workers provided project planning and crew <br /> supervision. Fringe benefits for a technical specialist are calculated at 61 %, which includes <br /> health insurance, Public Employee Retirement System (PERS /OPSRP), Medicare, FICA, Long <br /> Term Disability, and Life Insurance. Total: $8,194.69 <br /> Crew Leaders <br /> Two youth crew leaders were hired to each oversee a crew of five crew members. One crew <br /> leaders was employed full time for 9 weeks and the other for 11 weeks and both started work <br /> one week ahead of the crew members in order to received required OLCC training and assist <br /> with planning and logistics. One of the crew leaders worked an extra 4 %2 hours of overtime to <br /> receive the required First Aid/CPR training while the other crew leader already had the <br /> required certification. One crew leader provided 320 total hours of work at $12/hour the other <br /> crew leader provided 420 hours of regular time plus 4.5 hours of overtime (which equals a <br /> total of 426.75 hours calculated as regular time). The last two weeks of the program were <br /> supervised by City staff (only 2 crew members remained) as the second regular crew leader left <br /> to return to school. Both crew leaders were hired through Selectemp, a local employment <br /> agency. Selectemp's cost to the City is 30 %, which is reflected in the "Tax/Fringe" column of <br /> the budget. Total: $11,290.86 <br /> Crew Members <br /> Ten youth crew members were hired to work on two crews, each led by a crew leader. After <br /> the first nine weeks, several crew members had to return to school and the remaining people <br /> formed one crew to finish with the trail building project. One crew was employed full time for <br /> 8 weeks and provided natural resource stewardship, including riparian habitat enhancement, <br /> and invasive species removal. The other crew was employed for 12 weeks and provided trail <br /> building and maintenance work. Crew members will provide 320 hours of work each at <br /> $10/hour and will be hired through Selectemp, a local employment agency. Selectemp's cost to <br /> the City is 30 %, which is reflected in the "Tax/Fringe" column of the budget. Total: <br /> $43,974.00 <br />
