Page B-51:Street Paving Priorities- Public Works Director Brenner
explained that although some of the streets on the proposed list
do not appear to be in terrible shape, they are on the list in
order to do preventive maintenance and avoid heavy reconstruction
later on. Maureen Avenue between Mona and Lady is bad. Consensus
was to add Jay Street. ~ .-J.of?.fD .:..... S'S "'/.)4/911
Sidewalks: Public wor~nner advised that the cost of
a 4' sidewalk is $750 per linear foot. Commissioner Woodson said
that Reba, Doreen, Maureen, Perce, and Lyman do not have sidewalks
and they are not on the list. Consensus was to transfer $10,000
from contingency, add the south side of Maureen and take Suzette,
Crystal, and Mabel off the list as there are more children on
Maureen. If there is money left over it is to be applied to those
~ small sidewalks that were removed from the list.
Page C-1:Water Revenue- City Manager Shapiro said that the long
dry season which caused the St. Johns Management District to
restrain the use of water caused less water to be used than was
budgeted for this fiscal year and that, coupled with the sewer fee
cap, caused a significant loss in revenue. The guaranteed revenues
which up to now have not been collected, will offset that loss
substantially. Water connection fees have not been separated out
before and now they are identified.
Page C-3:Water Administration- The capital outlay is for work
station, 6 PN plotter, and a personal computor with a printer.
Page C-4:Water Services- Two more technicians are needed here. The
capital outlay is for water meters, prota processor, backflow,
backhoe, and folder/inserter.
Page D-1 & 4:Sanitation Services- The capital outlay is for truck-
lease payment, radios, and folder/inserter. The recycling projects
$22,000 is money from the county. The county will be ready to take
