These actions would <br /> eliminate the Downtown Planter Program. Due to <br /> retirements, the position is currently vacant.

A reduction of $85,000 in the Custodial Services Program <br /> would result in the lay-off of one Maintenance Custodian <br /> ($65,000) and reduce supplies and services dollars by <br /> $20,000. The reduction in staff would result in a 50°/a <br /> reduction from biannual to annual service for Floor Stripping <br /> and Waxing and the Exterior Window Cleaning Program. <br /> The $20,000 supply reduction would eliminate the monthly <br /> carpet steam cleaning service contract for 4 Child Care <br /> facilities.

The most recent <br /> replacement of the Broadway festoon lights occurred in June <br /> 2004. If the maintenance and replacement of festoon lights <br /> is eliminated, the lights will deteriorate (normal life cycle for <br /> the lights is one year); this will decrease the aesthetics of the <br /> downtown area and may generate complaints from <br /> downtown merchants. <br /> 6. The $27,000 budget reduction in pavement repairs will result <br /> in a 25% reduction in scheduled paving crew availability for <br /> these seasonally-scheduled tasks. The types of paving � <br /> maintenance projects that will be affected includes crack <br /> sealing, spot reconstruction of failed areas, skin patching, <br /> asphalt curb and gutter replacements, and temporary <br /> sidewalk repairs such as grinding, ramping, and asphalt <br /> sidewalk construction. With a reduced crew size of four <br /> people, the time needed to complete the work will be <br /> increased for many tasks. For example, any tasks that <br /> previously could be completed simultaneously by six crew <br /> AI-3 <br />
