7 • Par]<ing Lot Maintenance -Sanitation performs parking lot maintenance at non-paved lots, including EMS, Animal Shelter, ?,nimal Control, Homestead Center, Richard E. Whitted Complex (4 lots), Plamring & Agriculture, Northern Human Services Center (2 lots), Northside Complex, Public Works, Efland Pump Station, and Orange Enterprises. This includes grading, hauling, and leveling of these areas. • Tree Trimming and Removal -Sanitation currently performs some of the tree trimming and removal for the Buildings & Grounds Division around government buildings and those fallen during inclement weather Sanitation Division Vehicles: Sanitation has a total of 11 velucles, This includes four front-end loading garbage trucks, four dump trucks of different sizes, two pickups, and one trailer. There are also three pieces of off-road equipment currently in the Sanitation fleet. These are Uni-loaders of which two are currently used on a daily basis. One of these Uni-loaders is being transfen~ed to Public Works to assist in performing snow removal, grading and other work previously performed by Sanitation.. Anew roll-off truck is being purchased current year to service the bulk item roll-off containers at the convenience centers. The four front-end loaders are year models 1990, 1991,199.3, and 1999. They aze all in poor condition and only the 1999-year model is a reliably serviceable truck (In most governmental and municipal fleets, sanitation vehicles are on a five or six year replacement schedule..) The 1990 front-end loader is proposed to be replaced cunerrt year. The 1991 front-end loader is proposed to be replaced FY 2005/06. The dump trucks are year model 1988, 1991, and 1992. There is also a small 1999 Chrysler RAM 3500 with a dump bed on it. There is one tandem dump and all the other dump vehicles are single axle. Other than the RAM 3500 the current value of the vehicles would be minimal due to condition. The 1988 dump truck is proposed to be replaced current year. The 1991 dump truck is proposed to be replaced FY 2005/06. The two pickups are 1994 and 2001 models. The 2001 is the supervisor's vehicle and both pickups are presently charged a mileage cost by the County's maintenance division for their operation. The trailer is a 2001 model and is used to pull aUni-loader from site to site for clean up of material at the OCCC Another dump truck is currently being used daily by Sanitation for operations. The Buildings and Grounds Division owns this vehicle, although it is presently used by Sanitation four days per week. This vehicle will not transfer if the merger occurs. This vehicle is used daily and is proposed to be replaced in FY 2005/06 for Sanitation to continue its present operations. The Sanitation Manager does not have a vehicle and one will be proposed in the FY 2005/06 budget. The poor condition of the current Sanitation vehicles (until replacements are acquired) is such that significant attention will be needed to insure that the vehicles are operational It is projected that mechanic needs from Solid Waste are anticipated to be almost one-half FTE. Existing Solid Waste maintenance staff will provide this extra maintenance. This requirement is derived from current Public Works estimates of needed repairs and fiom past history of the vehicles. These extra duties were not considered within the Solid Waste perfommel plan and will strain the current staff and facilities to its maximum, although we believe it manageable given that the County appeazs to be 5
