Subject: 2014 / 2015 Sanitation Division Capital Outlay Revision.
Background Summary:
The City implemented the revised recycling collection program in August 2014, changing from manually
collecting recycled materials in bins to automated collection using 96 gallon carts with the side arm
loading (SAL) trucks as employed in the City's residential collection. Based on neighboring
Municipalities' experience, Public Works conservatively projected increased recycling volumes which
would be handled by three (3) SAL trucks. Participation in the revised recycle program has exceeded
projections more than doubling the anticipated volume and requiring five (5) SAL trucks to collect the
increased recyclables. Utilizing the five (5) SAL trucks for recycling has changed the operational needs
of Sanitation.
Public Works has analyzed the effects of the overwhelming recycling participation and determined both
of the SAL trucks slated for surplus this year will need to be replaced in order to maintain a serviceable
truck fleet in Sanitation. The current Sanitation budget includes a single SAL replacement, surplus of
two nine (9) year old SAL trucks, along with adding a chipper truck operation to revise our process of
collecting tree debris. The revision to the tree debris collection will need to be curtailed as the Team
Members to be assigned to the operation are being utilized to meet the recycling demands. Public
Works is requesting the Commission approve Public Works' request to revise the Sanitation Division's
Capital Outlay to delete the proposed chipper truck and chipper in order to include an additional SAL
truck. This requested revision is adequately funded within the existing Sanitation Capital Outlay budget.
Issue:
Request the City Commission approve a revision to the Sanitation Division Capital Outlay to delete the
proposed chipper truck and chipper in order to include an additional side arm loading truck.
Recommendations:
Recommend approval to revise the Sanitation Division's 2014/2015 Capital Outlay budget to delete the
proposed chipper truck and chipper in order to include an additional side arm loading truck.
Attachments:
None.
Financial Impact:
The requested change to the Sanitation Capital Outlay is adequately funded in the current budget.
