Councilman Inzunza arrived at 4:01 p.m. PRESENTATIONS STREET SWEEPING 1. Street Sweeping. Public Works Director Williams gave a brief oral presentation in response to a request by Council based on their provision of the following criteria for city-wide posted street sweeping: 1. There would be no sweeping in residential areas before 7:30 a.m. 2. Alternate sides of the street would be swept in a different time period. The intent being that this would make it easier to clear the way for sweeping and aid in the citation of derelict automobiles. Mr. Williams stated that the cost to post signs city-wide would be approximately $300,000.00; manpower would be only 75% effective (20 hrs./week part-time and 6 hrs. overtime on weekends) and there would be increased maintenance and an accelerated replacement schedule for the sweeping vehicles. To accomplish the above criteria in identified problem areas only, the cost of signs would be approximately $8,000.00, sweeper operator would be augmented eight hrs./week plus six hours overtime on weekends, and changes would be necessary in the current city-wide sweep schedule.
