<br />269 <br /> <br />WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1986 <br /> <br />Pay Reclassification Adjustment: The <br />$52,723 results from dropping the <br />adjustments for most Police Department <br />reducing the proposed range adjustments <br />of Police, Assistant Chief of Police <br />from 10 percent to 5 percent. <br /> <br />reduction of <br />proposed range <br />personnel and <br />for the Chief <br />and Lieutenants <br /> <br />This reductions does not affect the proposed 5% COLA <br />increase and the average 1-1/2% of payroll included to <br />implement the basic pay plan. <br /> <br />Street Construction: The $42,000 reduction listed <br />under this account results from the elimination of a <br />small street widening project along the souths ide of <br />Clearview Dirve in the area of Barrows Mill Road. An <br />alternative to the elimination of this project is to <br />delay a portion of the Stultz Road widening project. <br />These projects being a part of the Seven-Year Street <br />and Sidewalk Improvement Program. <br /> <br />Data Processing: This reduction of $67,378 eliminates <br />the purchase of the CPU unit and tape drive. This <br />will, however, have to be purchased in the near future <br />if the overall computer operations are to function <br />properly, especially as it relates to the Treasurer's <br />Office. We would like to use the balance of the <br />proposed appropriation ($7,622) to purchase a printer <br />which we were hopeful of obtaining during the current <br />year but it does not appear to be possible because of <br />limited funds. <br /> <br />Risk Management: The elimination of this position will <br />result in a reduction of $20,003. This will alter our <br />Risk Management Plan as proposed in the budget. The <br />Personnel Technician is a significant segment of our <br />proposed Risk Management Plan. This would enable us to <br />centralize workers compensation claims, accident <br />reviews and the coordination of the overall safety <br />program. <br /> <br />In a related matter involving personnel, the budget <br />personnel summary indicated that two new employess were <br />included in the segment of the budget under the City <br />Manager. During the last minute efforts to adjust the <br />budget a Sanitary Aide was cut, but this change was not <br />noted in the summary sheet, with the understanding that <br />Prison labor would be used when needed in connection <br />with refuse collection. Therefore, there was a net of <br />one (1) additional employee proposed rather than two <br />(2) as previously noted. If the Personnel Technician <br />is cut there will be no net increase in number of <br />employees over the current year. <br />
