As soon as some cleaning and painting can be accompltshed in the space <br /> vacated by the Tax Supervisor, the Personnel Department and the Program Analy <br /> will move into the basement. This should occur by mid January. <br /> The Planning Department will move into much of the space previously occui <br /> by the Tax Supervisor and Tax Collector during February. Moves involving the <br /> Register of Deeds to the old Social Service building and the Clerk of Court <br /> into space currently occupied by the Register of Deeds will come after Plannfr <br /> has been moved, as renovations proposed for the Register of Deeds are more <br /> extensive and will take some time to accomplish. <br /> Later in January we will submit to you a layout of the upstairs area <br /> of the courthouse showing arrangement of the administrative area. <br /> VEHICLE MILEAGE CHANGE <br /> To spread the cost of vehicle operation in an equitable manner between <br /> using departments we have been charging each department .33 cents per mile for <br /> vehicle use. After five months operation we find this figure is much higher <br /> than our estimated cost of operation and an average cost of .22 cents per mile <br /> is a more appropriate figure to use. Our initial estimate of cost per mile <br /> for operation appears to be too high for two reasons <br /> a) The fleet is traveling more miles than we initially estimated <br /> b) Gasoline costs was budgeted at a figure much higher than we <br /> are now expecting to pay <br /> Two departments will have serious problems with budget overruns for <br /> transportation (Public Health and Sheriff) even after this adjustment is made. <br /> I feel the reduction from .33 cents to .22 cents is an administrative <br /> matter as it does not affect (increase or decrease) the overall budget for <br /> transportation. <br />
