DELACH, CITY NOVEMBER 26, RECONSIDERATION RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City and provide staff direction. BACKGROUND PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR INCREASED STREET SWEEPING SERVICES discuss the approved enhanced Street Sweeping Plan At the regular City Council meeting of November 5, 2007 the Council approved a plan for weekly street sweeping and related parking prohibitions by street for an 8 -hour period. Subsequently, Council Member Uriel Macias, a prevailing vote from the unanimous decision, requested the item be brought back;for reconsideration of the sweeping schedule for the major North/South thoroughfares. The concern for resident parking and related enforcement of parking restrictions on Azusa and ;San Gabriel Avenues is the primary issue. The original staff report from November 5, 2007 is attached for additional background information. I If the City Council chooses to modify the street sweeping services a public awareness campaign will begin to insure that the residents are aware of the changes that will be in their future. FISCAL IMPACT The modification of sweeping services for "major thoroughfares" is dependant upon how many curb -miles of streets are included. If only Azusa and San Gabriel Avenue are included the cost impacts would most likely ie minimal. r7.AJJ'7, AGENDA CALENDAR TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: JAMES MAKSHANOFF, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR VIA: F.M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER DATE: NOVEMBER 5, 2007 SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF INCREASING STREET SWEEPING SERVICES RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council proceed with the original budgetary plan of enhanced Street Sweeping and the installation of "No Parking" signs for sweeping days throughout the City or maintain the bi-weekly sweeping service achieving budgetary savings. BACKGROUND For the past 12 months the City Council and staff have discussed the possibility of increasing the street sweeping days in Azusa. At this time the City contracts with Athens Services to sweep city streets bi-weekly throughout most of the City. The program is set up to sweep the City in five zones with each zone following trash pick up day. It was originally proposed by staff, that street sweeping would be increased to every week for the five zones, which would have basically doubled the previously budgeted street sweeping costs. The 2007-2008 budget was adopted with this plan. In order to effectively sweep the streets the plan was going to be to post signs indicating "No Parking from 8 AM - 4PM" for whatever day the street was to be swept. Since that time the City Council requested staff investigate the possibility of alternating no parking on specific sides of a given street to make street sweeping less onerous on the public. This option would provide at least some parking on the street to remain in place for the residents. Staff discussed the various options available for street sweeping with Athens so that a portion of the street could remain open for parking along the curb. One of the ways suggested by Athens would be to post signs that would limit parking on the north and west sides of streets to the morning hours and south and east to afternoon hours. This would give residents the ability to move their vehicles around during the day without interfering with the street sweeping activity. Streets throughout the, City would be posted with signs that would say "No would be the best way to effe g" for the given time. Athens has told staff that this sweep the streets. Currently the bi-weekly contracted cost for sweeping services is $14.09 X 6,449 miles or $90,866.41 for an entire year. The cost for weekly sweeping is therefore $181,732.82. If Azusa goes to a modified weekly sweeping plan that alternates street sides would add another 22% making the cost $2211;714.04. To recap the costs: • Current cost per year (every) other week) • $90,866.41 I • Proposal A cost per year (eery week) • $181,732.82 • Proposal B cost per year (every week North and West AM/South and East PM) • 221,714.04 1 Implementation of either plan will take at least 60 days for two reasons: 1. The City will need to install No Parking" signs throughout the City. 2. Athens will need to purchase a street sweeper in order to perform the contract additions. I If the City Council chooses to incl will begin to insure that the reside FISCALiIMPACT Proposal A can be funded within t contract estimate by $39,981.22 Maintaining a bi-weekly service w e street sweeping services a public awareness campaign are aware of the changes that will be in their future. e current budget. Proposal B would increase the budgeted iecessitating an increase in appropriation by that amount. .Ijld result in budgetary savings of over $130,000 annually.
