~• <br />-~ <br />PUBLIC WORKS FACII..ITY <br />A. FINDINGS <br />1. The Public Works Department is currently working out of five separate <br />facilities. T'he combination of the downtown department with the Public Works-Roads <br />facility at the location of the latter on Silverton Road would save time and money in <br />personnel costs, travel time and equipment needs. <br />It further appears that this consolidation of the downtown and Silverton Road <br />operations at the latter location would better serve the public, particularly if a small Public <br />Works office is retained downtown to work in close proximity with the Community <br />Development Department. <br />B. COST FACTORS <br />1. This facility will be funded through Public Works funds. <br />2. Preliminary estimates place the cost at approximately $2 million. <br />3. Reserves will be set aside over the next year and a half to pay for the facility <br />4. Further study is needed to determine actual feasibility for this project. <br />C. OPTIONS CONSIDERID <br />1. There were two options considered for accommodating the Public Works staff <br />2. One option was to maintain full staffing for Administration, Engineering and <br />Survey downtown. This was considered the least efficient use of Public Works funds. <br />3. The savings and productivity gains were best realized with the second option <br />of moving to our Roads facility. The second option also provided greater customer service <br />to our customer base. <br />PAGE 1 <br />ksj/cd/PublicWorks. 03/10/95 <br />
