TO: B. Tink, Chairman of the Public Works Committee
FROM: J. Dunham, Director of Public Works Department
DATE: February 4, 1976
SUBJECT: Public Works Budget
The attached is a proposed supplementary. As
proposed, would be somewhat closer to the same
level of service as provided in 1975. With
this proposal a lesser cut back could be expected.
However, if no further financial assistance can
be obtained, numerous cut backs will be obvious.
The Ministry have said that a minimal amount of
construction monies have been retained to allow
consjderation of relief to certain municipalities
should they be faced with large, non-recurring
expenditures which cannot be deferred.
In discussing this with the Ministry, their clar-
ification of non-recurring expenditures which
cannot be deferred are unexpected bridge failure
or street re -surfacing due to a sewer contract.
At this time, it would therefore appear that no
further subsidy allocations will be availablev
for this municipality. With this in mind, a pro-
posed supplementary would be totally a municipal
expenditure.
To further clarify obvious cut backs, which would
pertain to normal maintenance, the following items
are suggested if it should become necessary.
1) snow removal from streets
2) snow plowing reduction in overtime
3) sanding and salting reduction in material
4) reduction in dust control
5) reduction in surface treatment
6) reduction in pavement resurfacing
(continued). . . . • • 2
7) reduction in gravel resurfacing
8) no occasional summer help
The above mentioned would be approximately a
15% reduction in service. At this time, how-
ever2 I can see a possibility of retaining a
service approximately equal to 1975 if the
Works Department has the same municipal dollars
as in 1975 plus the—growth-dollars of the past
year.
