Notes: 75-0262 Agenda Item No .5" ~ cAy OF SAN BERNARdt.O - REQUAT FOR COUNCIL AC-IoN . STAFF REPORT I. Attached is Roger Hardgrave's October 3, 1989 memo (attachment A) to Marshall Julian, requesting 4 additional positions in his Traffic Engineering Section, plus the upgrade of the Assistant Traffic Engineer to Associate Traffic Engineer. On November 6, 1989, Council approved a motion granting the upgrade. On December 4, 1989, Council approved a motion to establish 1 new position of Traffic Signal Electrician III. This report requests funding for the remaining 3 positions, which include an additional Draftsperson, Engineering Assistant III and Maintenance Worker I. The total financial impact for these 3 new positions, is $60,496 for the remainder of the 1989-90, fiscal year, assuming the positions are filled by January, 1990. The difference between our projected costs and Roger's is due to our using step 5 salaries, instead of step 1, and our costing based on the positions filled for 6 months of the 1989-90, fiscal year. Roger concurs with our recommendations. . Per the Public Works Department, the adopted 1989-90 budget projected $400,000 in revenue from the Traffic Systems Fee. Based on the first 3 months actual revenues, revised 1989-90 projections exceed $900,000. A review by the City Administrator has suggested a revised projection of $700,000, which is more than adequate to fund the requested positions. The Council Personnel Committee reviewed this item on November 9, 1989, and recommended full Council approval. If approved, Resolution 6433 will be additional positions during the update. updated reflecting the 3 March, 1990, quarterly PD 418EE jr 12/6/89 . 75-0264 '. ..'.r.":>-.;._....._~..-.-=.:-....-:a.~ -;l;........t-'.:"..~ .'I...i-or-_-...... ...4._..... ----.,-......-~. ......-~...._.. .

HARDGRAVE, Director of Public Works/ City Bngineer Review of Revenue Projection. -- ~raffic Systems Pee PuD4 October 3, 1989 FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: COPIES: Andy Green, Gordon Johnson, File No. 6.50, Reading File --------------------------------------------------------------- At the Council meeting of 7-11-89, Mayor Holcomb requested that ~e review the projected revenue for the Traffic Systems Fee Fund for 1989/90. This action was taken in response to the acknow- ledgement by the Council Personnel Conni ttee that the traffic functions were seriously understaffed, and the connitment that additional positions would be provided over a number of year.. The current projected revenue in the 1989/90 Budget is $533,000. Of this amount, $318,000 is allocated for traffic operations projects to improve traffic flow, and $215,000 is designated for transfer to the General Fund to finance salaries of traffic personnel. Listed below are the additional traffic related positions that are needed as a minimum to meet the ever increasing traffic volumes in our City. Deal. Section ~ 1.

However, the actual amount was about $511,000. There has been a tremendous increase in the level of development activity since adoption of the General Plan. After reviewing the current level of activity, it is obvious that the original revenue projection of $533,000 is unrealistically low. As of 7- 1-89, there was an automatic increase in the amount of the fee to account for the increase in the cost of living. This will also result in additional revenue. . After carefully reviewing the anticipated level of activity for the 1989/90 Fiscal Year, we have revised the revenue estimate from $533,000 to $675,000. Based upon the amount of revenue received in 1988/89, this projection appears very feasible. We recommend that the revenue estimate for the Traffic Systems Fee Fund be adjusted as set forth above, and the additional funds be allocated to fund the .. additional positions and one re- classification listed above.
