• Manage all safety devices and work zone operations for Public Works divisions. By centralizing the operations it will reduce damage to signs, base supports, barricades, and reduce annual to bi-annual cost for replacement, liability for neglected or damaged devices with improper retro-reflectivity or incorrect set up. • Manage any sanitation services not privatized. The current traffic supervisor has 17.5 years of traffic experience, with five years being in a supervisory capacity. He has received extensive training in order to receive the proper certifications needed to provide a professional traffic operation that is in compliance with all federal, state and city traffic requirements. This background not only provides a more complete and professional operation, but places city in a better position in any litigation involving the traffic operation. The major concern is that without a qualified traffic supervisor, the operation will suffer and not be able to provide an adequate program. PROPOSAL 2 EXPAND TRAFFIC OPERATION AND CONTINUE NON PRIVATIZED SERVICES It is proposed that the City retain the services of the two non-collector sanitation employees to permit the department to continue the traffic operation at an enhanced level. These employees would also provide any sanitation related services that are not assumed by a private contractor. This could include: • Continue to enhance Traffic Management Operation and assist other departments. • Continue to remove items that are abandoned on city right of way due to illegal dumping. • Continue brush pick up within the city. It would be necessary to retain the current brush truck to be able to perform with function. • Continue removal of deceased animals on city property and right of ways. (Animal control does not remove large animals due to their not having the proper equipment.) • Continue maintenance at Municipal Airport. • Continue to remove bulk debris from residential curbside. • Continue to provide after hours right-of-way and street debris cleanup. The retention of the two employees would not only improve the traffic management operation, but would permit the Public Works Department to continue to provide services that make our city a better and safer environment for our community. 77
