B) Savings possible for FY -94. <br /> B -1. Parks Planning has a half -time Property Management Specialist position <br /> which performs property acquisition and rental management activities. <br /> Elimination of this position with its services reassigned to other <br /> similar positions within Maintenance and Engineering would result in an <br /> on -going savings to the General Fund of approximately $ 27,000. <br /> B -2. Parks Services has four Park Specialist positions dedicated to the <br /> operation and maintenance of three swimming and five wading pools. One <br /> of the Park Specialist positions is proposed to be eliminated. This <br /> results in a initial direct loss in maintenance support to the pools. <br /> The reorganization of the Facilities Maintenance Section and the <br /> proposed increase in building facilities capital expenditures in the FY- <br /> 94 budget is expected to offset a portion of this service reduction. <br /> Elimination of this position would result in an on -going savings to the <br /> General Fund of approximately $ 35,000. <br /> B -3. Parks Services has eight Park Specialist and three Custodian positions <br /> dedicated to the maintenance of the Park Blocks, Mali Maintenance, and <br /> maintenance of the downtown city buildings. One of the Park Specialist <br /> positions is proposed to be eliminated. This will result in a initial <br /> direct loss in maintenance support to these area. The reorganization of <br /> the Facilities Maintenance and Landscape Maintenance Sections and the <br /> proposed increase in building facilities capital expenditures in the FY- <br /> 94 budget is expected to offset a portion of this service reduction. <br /> Elimination of this position would result in an on -going savings to the <br /> General Fund of approximately $ 35,000. <br /> B -4. Due to water quality concerns and increasing citizen complaints, Public <br /> Works has been taking advantage of new technology sweepers to change <br /> past debris disposal practices. These new units transfer debris <br /> directly into dumpsters instead of dumping on the street for later pick- <br /> up. Locating larger dumpsters in locations which could also be used by <br /> the Community /Senior Centers would result in an on -going savings to the <br /> General Fund of approximately $ 15,000. <br /> B -5. Moving Parks Maintenance to Public Works Maintenance's Roosevelt site <br /> will allow the closure of the Lincoln Street facility. Elimination of <br /> these older buildings will result in an on -going net utilities savings <br /> to the General Fund of approximately $ 7,000. <br /> B -6. Assuming the sale of the Lincoln Street facility to the private sector, <br /> the on -going tax revenues to the General Fund would be in excess of <br /> $ 10,000. <br /> B -7. Parks Services had a Superintendent position which was to be eliminated <br /> due to this merger. To fill a need in the PARCS Recreation Division, <br /> this position was instead transferred to them.
