Both depts. have building maintenance personel. Why not have them work together? <br /><br />Tim, why not propose looking into these ideas. There could be some serious cash savings with machinery reduction (auction excess off), quicker job completion, no overtime, streamline material costs...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21123853.post-70172617705624140372010-03-21T08:40:47.237-04:002010-03-21T08:40:47.237-04:00The maintenance for the parklet at the corner of M...The maintenance for the parklet at the corner of Maple/Highland is from a trust established by the old Peck Lane Sportsman Club. 8:41 is corrrect--(3) departments to do the same job.

They constantly skip the fire houses and the police department. The "parklets" shouldn't take more than a day combined but the crew spends a day at each. Totally unacceptable!<br /><br />Park and rec and the BOE grounds crew should fall under public works. We can cut down on the amount of mechanics at each, cut the number of vehicles total, cut the total amount of machinery owned and close out multiple accounts at distributors. We have 3 seperate departments that cut grass, plow snow, and do construction. <br /><br />Consolidate to save!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21123853.post-46288462189082710202010-03-20T00:01:47.877-04:002010-03-20T00:01:47.877-04:00I agree whoever does the work on the three areas d...I agree whoever does the work on the three areas does a great job.
