FUNDING STRATEGY <br /> A portion of the space needs is eligible for funding through the Road and <br /> Sewer Funds. This would include 4,000 s.f. of the parking bay need, the <br /> parking lot enhancements, and the remodel needed in Building 2. This totals <br /> approximately $ 125,000. Funds are currently in place which could be diverted <br /> for these projects, however, carrying forward part of these funds into FY -93 <br /> may be required to allow time for construction. The flammable storage <br /> building would be funded with Road Fund monies from the FY -93 CIP. <br /> To fund the General Fund needs, it is proposed we use the FY -93 General Fund <br /> savings shown herein of $ 145,000, the FY -92 CIP General Building Rehabil- <br /> itation and HVAC balance of $ 65,500, and $ 129,500 from the General Fund <br /> contingency. The funds from the contingency could then be replaced at the <br /> sale of the Lincoln Street facility. <br /> TIMING OF PERSONNEL MOVES <br /> Assuming the space needs listed above are addressed, the implementation of <br /> some of these moves can begin immediately. For instance, the Landscape and <br /> Aboriculture crews are being merged at Roosevelt and will be housed in the <br /> crew areas previously designated for the arboriculture crew. Housing of <br /> equipment in the open is acceptable through the summer but other measures need <br /> to be in place prior to the winter season. <br /> The Parks Planning unit can be moved to Roosevelt in 30 - 60 days depending on <br /> completion of the remodel for the designated area within Building 2. <br /> Moving the Facilities Engineering personnel out of City Hall 2 will likely <br /> occur within 30 - 60 days. Moving the wood working shop from Roosevelt to <br /> Cheshire will likely not occur for 90 - 180 days or until the code problems <br /> are resolved. <br /> Moving the Turf and Grounds Crew would be easier after a crew facility was <br /> constructed for them. Temporary measures could be put in place but would be <br /> disruptive to their service delivery to move either crew until after their <br /> summer season was completed. <br /> Both Wistec and Public Safety have been warehousing items at the Lincoln <br /> street Facility. Coordination with these agencies has not yet begun and will <br /> take some preparation. It is estimated that we would not be totally moved out <br /> of the Lincoln Street facility for approximately 12 months. <br /> 6 <br />
