• Can the service provided be reduced, eliminated, or contracted out? <br />Reducing or eliminating the cleaning service will limit the . <br />quality of service that the Building Maintenance Division is able <br />to provide. Building and equipment maintenance and repairs <br />will be pushed out in order to keep facilities clean. The Division <br />will also lose the opportunity to cover vacations and unexpected <br />absences. <br />The City has had a cleaning contract in place since moving into <br />the Municipal Center in 2006. The service provided has been less <br />than expected and needed. Further, a cleaning contract is far <br />more expensive than hiring a part -time employee and limits the <br />City's control. <br />• What is the budgetary impact if the position is not filled (e.g., additional <br />overtime /compensatory time off costs) <br />If the position is not filled, the Division's overtime budget will <br />need to increase. This is not a practical long term solution as it <br />may affect performance if employees do not have adequate time <br />away from work. <br />• What are the circumstances that warrant the creation of this new position? <br />This proposal would eliminate a cleaning contract in order to <br />ensure that city facilities are cleaned to the City's expectations <br />and needs. In addition, there would be significant cost savings <br />for many years after the contract is terminated. In 2009, the City <br />will save $16,000 by replacing the cleaning contract with a part - <br />time employee. <br />3. What is the total annual cost of the position (e.g., salary, taxes, benefits, equipment, etc.)? <br />The total annual cost of the position is $23,000. <br />
